More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The vivacity and brightness of colors in a landscape will never bear any comparison with a landscape in nature when it is illumined by the sun, unless the painting is placed in such a position that it will receive the same light from the sun as does the landscape.
Leonardo da Vinci
As you cannot do what you want, Want what you can do
Leonardo da Vinci
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who has access to the fountain does not go to the water-pot.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, labor in vain.
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
Why seek to embarrass [the artist] with vanities foreign to his quietness? Know you not that certain sciences require the whole man, leaving no part of him at leisure for your trifles?
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
If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.
Leonardo da Vinci
I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.
Leonardo da Vinci
Some promises and time disappoint us
Leonardo da Vinci
Inequality is the cause of all local movements.
Leonardo da Vinci
I would venture to affirm that a man cannot attain excellence if he satisfy the ignorant and not those of his own craft, and if he be not 'singular' or 'distant,' or whatever you like to call him.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you do not rest on the good foundation of nature, you will labour with little honor and less profit.
Leonardo da Vinci
The soul is content to stay imprisoned in the human body... for through the eyes all the various things of nature are represented to the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every loss which we incur leaves behind it vexation in the memory, save the greatest loss of all, that is, death, which annihilates the memory, together with life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art lives from constraints and dies from freedom.
Leonardo da Vinci
