Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
My body is not a tomb for animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
The fox when it sees a flock of herons or magpies or birds of that kind, suddenly flings himself on the ground with his mouth open to look as he were dead and these birds want to peck at his tongue, and he bites off their heads.
Leonardo da Vinci
The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who become enamoured of the art, without having previously applied to the diligent study of the scientific part of it, may be compared to mariners who put to the sea in a ship without rudder or compass and therefore cannot be certain of arriving at the wished for port.
Leonardo da Vinci
The desire to know is natural to good men.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.
Leonardo da Vinci
