Leonardo da Vinci
Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who has access to the fountain does not go to the water-pot.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
People of higher talent work, even if they seem to do nothing
Leonardo da Vinci
Being engulfed in practice without delicate knowledge related to it, is in many ways like entering a ship without knowing where it is headed.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who walks straight rarely falls.
Leonardo da Vinci
