More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The instant the atmosphere is illuminated it will be filled with an infinite number of images which are produced by the various bodies and colours assembled in it. And the eye is the target, a lodestone, of these images.
Leonardo da Vinci
Who sows virtue ought to reap honour.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who wishes to see how the soul inhabits the body should look to see how that body uses its daily surroundings. If the dwelling is dirty and neglected, the body will be kept by its soul in the same condition, dirty and neglected.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
The desire to know is natural to good men.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are alone you are all your own.
Leonardo da Vinci

There are three aspects to perspective. The first has to do with how the size of objects seems to diminish according to distance: the second, the manner in which colors change the farther away they are from the eye the third defines how objects ought to be finished less carefully the farther away they are.

If you are on the side whence the wind is blowing you will see the trees looking much lighter than you would see them on the other sides and this is due to the fact that the wind turns up the reverse side of the leaves which in all trees is much whiter than the upper side.
Leonardo da Vinci
Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.
Leonardo da Vinci
Savage is he who saves himself.
Leonardo da Vinci
Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
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
Necessity is the mistress and guide of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is a most subtle discovery in mathematical studies, for by means of lines it causes to appear distant that which is near, and large that which is small.
Leonardo da Vinci
The cat is nature's masterpiece.
Leonardo da Vinci
