I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Our body is dependent on heaven and heaven on the Spirit.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The eye which turns from a white object in the light of the sun and goes into a less fully lighted place will see everything as dark.

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
We must doubt the certainty of everything which passes through the senses, but how much more ought we to doubt things contrary to the senses, such as the existence of God and the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci

The art of procreation and the members employed therein are so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
There is no result in nature without a cause understand the cause and you will have no need of the experiment.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The painter who draws by practise and judgment of the eye without the use of reason is like the mirror which reproduces within itself all the objects which are set opposite to it without knowledge of the same.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
I am not to blame for putting forward, in the course of my work on science, any general rule derived from a previous conclusion.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The earth is moved from its position by the weight of a tiny bird resting upon it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
I love this site. It was lovingly hand-shaped it. Your soul transformed this into this art. It was perfect. I have tried to create another equal to it... but to no avail, so I will just have to paint the Sistine Chapel.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
It reflects no great honour on a painter to be able to execute one thing well.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
We know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
I know very well that because I am unlettered some presumptuous people will think they have the right to criticize me, saying that I am an uncultured man. What stupid fools! Do they not know that I could reply to them as Marius did to the Roman patricians: Do those who pride themselves on the works of other men claim to challenge mine?

The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
