More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
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
Principles for the Development of a Complete Mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is the infinite alone that cannot be attained, for if it could it would become finite.
Leonardo da Vinci
The discovery of a good wine is increasingly better for mankind than the discovery of a new star.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
We ought not to desire the impossible.
Leonardo da Vinci
The deeper the feeling, the greater the pain
Leonardo da Vinci
I am still hopeful. A falcon, Time. But the coincidence is probably accidental.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is nothing more than a rational demonstration applied to the consideration of how objects in front of the eye transmit their image to it, by means of a pyramid of lines. The Pyramid is the name I apply to the lines which, starting from the surface and edges of each object, converge from a distance and meet in a single point.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is ill to praise, and worse to blame, the thing which you do not understand.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men wrongly lament the flight of time, blaming it for being too swift they do not perceive that its passage is sufficiently long, but a good memory, which nature has given to us, causes things long past to seem present.
Leonardo da Vinci
Drawing is based upon perspective, which is nothing else than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye.
Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more you fear and avoid it the nearer you approach to it, and this is misery the more you flee from it the more miserable and restless you will become.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature has placed in the front part of man, as he moves, all those parts which when struck cause him to feel pain and this is felt in the joints of the legs, the forehead and the nose, and has been so devised for the preservation of man, because if such pain were not felt in these limbs they would be destroyed by the many blows they receive.
Leonardo da Vinci
To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.
Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience never errs it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
Fire is to represent truth because it destroys all sophistry and lies and the mask is for lying and falsehood which conceal truth.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
