Nature alone is the master of true genius.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
O painter, take care lest the greed for gain prove a stronger incentive than renown in art, for to gain this renown is a far greater thing than is the renown of riches.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
It's not enough that you believe what you see. You must also understand what you see.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes so with present time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
All our knowledge originates in opinion.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Lust is the cause of generation.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The light and heat of the universe comes from the sun, and its cold and darkness from the withdrawal of the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Man and the animals are merely a passage and channel for food, a tomb for other animals, a haven for the dead, giving life by the death of others, a coffer full of corruption.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
To be a winner you must want to win but must know of the chance of losing and must not fear of it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image

Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
And you who wish to represent by words the form of man and all the aspects of his membrification, relinquish that idea. For the more minutely you describe the more you will confine the mind of the reader, and the more you will keep him from the knowledge of the thing described. And so it is necessary to draw and to describe.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
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
Image
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The eye - which sees all objects reversed - retains the images for some time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
If anyone wishes to see how the soul dwells in its body, let him observe how this body uses its daily habitation that is to say, if this is devoid of order and confused, the body will be kept in disorder and confusion by its soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
