Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am never weary of being useful... In serving others I cannot do enough. No labor is sufficient to tire me.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
It is no small benefit on finding oneself in bed in the dark to go over again in the imagination the main lines of the forms previously studied, or other noteworthy things conceived by ingenious speculation.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose
Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
Leonardo da Vinci
A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.
Leonardo da Vinci
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
Leonardo da Vinci
Depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves.
Leonardo da Vinci
First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.
Leonardo da Vinci
The knowledge of all things is possible
Leonardo da Vinci
