More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Every part is disposed to unite with the whole, that it may thereby escape from its own incompleteness.
Leonardo da Vinci
A long life is a life well spent.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who despises painting has no love for the philosophy in nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more you fear and avoid it the nearer you approach to it, and this is misery the more you flee from it the more miserable and restless you will become.
Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
Leonardo da Vinci
Many will think they may reasonably blame me by alleging that my proofs are opposed to the authority of certain men held in the highest reverence by their inexperienced judgments not considering that my works are the issue of pure and simple experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you look at a wall spotted with stains...you may discover a resemblance to various landscapes, beautiful with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees. Or again, you may see battles and figures in action, or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects which you could reduce to complete and well-drawn figures.
Leonardo da Vinci
Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.
Leonardo da Vinci
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make yourself a master of perspective, then acquire perfect knowledge of the proportions of men and other animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
Leonardo da Vinci
Experiment is the sole interpreter of the artifices of Nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
You must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
The great man presides over all his states of consciousness with obstinate rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci
What induces you, oh man, to depart from your home in town, to leave parents and friends, and go to the countryside over mountains and valleys, if it is not for the beauty of the world of nature?
Leonardo da Vinci
If on your own or by the criticism of others you discover error in your work, correct it then and there otherwise in exposing your work to the public, you will expose your error also.
Leonardo da Vinci
No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn't pass the test of mathematical proof.
Leonardo da Vinci
