Image
He who despises painting has no love for the philosophy in nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Every action done by nature is done in the shortest way.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
If you are representing a white body let it be surrounded by ample space, because as white has no colour of its own, it is tinged and altered in some degree by the colour of the objects surrounding it
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Every man at three years old is half his height
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Therefore, O students, study mathematics and do not build without foundations.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
In time and with water, everything changes.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
O Time! consumer of all things O envious age! thou dost destroy all things and devour all things with the relentless teeth of years, little by little in a slow death. Helen, when she looked in her mirror, seeing the withered wrinkles made in her face by old age, wept and wondered why she had twice been carried away.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The body of the earth is of the nature of a fish... because it draws water as its breath instead of air.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Why are the bones of great fishes, and oysters and corals and various other shells and sea-snails, found on the high tops of mountains that border the sea, in the same way in which they are found in the depths of the sea?
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Learning is the only thing that never disappoints us.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
When you look at a wall spotted with stains...you may discover a resemblance to various landscapes, beautiful with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees. Or again, you may see battles and figures in action, or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects which you could reduce to complete and well-drawn figures.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Let not your rage or malice destroy a life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Good culture is born of a good disposition and since the cause is more to be praised than the effect, I will rather praise a good disposition without culture, than good culture without the disposition.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Happy will they be who lend ear to the words of the dead.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Truth was the only daughter of Time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Experience, the interpreter between creative nature and the human race, teaches the action of nature among mortals: how under the constraint of necessity she cannot act otherwise than as reason, who steers her helm, teaches her to act.
Leonardo da Vinci
