More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal.

And this is the last vice to be conquered.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
The part always has a tendency to reunite with its whole in order to escape from its imperfection.
Leonardo da Vinci
Many will think they may reasonably blame me by alleging that my proofs are opposed to the authority of certain men held in the highest reverence by their inexperienced judgments not considering that my works are the issue of pure and simple experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Thou, O God, dost sell us all good things at the price of labor.
Leonardo da Vinci
Given the cause nature produces the effect in the briefest manner that it can employ.
Leonardo da Vinci
We know well that mistakes are more easily detected in the works of others than in one's own.
Leonardo da Vinci
