More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.
Leonardo da Vinci
O speculators about perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you created in the like quest? Go and take your place with the seekers after gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
He only moves toward the perfection of his art whose criticism surpasses his achievement.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience, the interpreter between creative nature and the human race, teaches the action of nature among mortals: how under the constraint of necessity she cannot act otherwise than as reason, who steers her helm, teaches her to act.
Leonardo da Vinci
O admirable necessity! O powerful action! What mind can penetrate your nature? What language can express this marvel? None, to be sure. This is where human discourse turns toward the contemplation of the divine.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are alone you are all your own.
Leonardo da Vinci
The art of procreation and the members employed therein are so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species.
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
He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who fears dangers will not perish by them.
Leonardo da Vinci
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.
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
Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places.
Leonardo da Vinci
Some promises and time disappoint us
Leonardo da Vinci
An infinite number of men will sell publicly and unhindered things of the very highest price, without leave from the Master of it while it never was theirs nor in their power and human justice will not prevent it.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly.
Leonardo da Vinci
We know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.
Leonardo da Vinci
Let no man who is not a Mathematician read the elements of my work.
Leonardo da Vinci
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
