More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
If you put on more garments, the cold cannot reach you. Similarly, increase your patience and concentration and even great injuries cannot vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Love, Fear, and Esteem, - Write these on three stones.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who fears dangers will not perish by them.
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
Iron rusts from disuse water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
That which has no limitations, has no form.
Leonardo da Vinci
Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you draw a nude, sketch the whole figure and nicely fit the members to it and to each other. Even though you may only finish one portion of the drawing, just make certain that all the parts hang together, so that the study will be useful to you in the future.
Leonardo da Vinci
Painting embraces and contains within itself all the things which nature produces or which results from the fortuitous actions of men... he is but a poor master who makes only a single figure well.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth was always but the daughter of time.
Leonardo da Vinci
I know very well that because I am unlettered some presumptuous people will think they have the right to criticize me, saying that I am an uncultured man. What stupid fools! Do they not know that I could reply to them as Marius did to the Roman patricians: Do those who pride themselves on the works of other men claim to challenge mine?
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
Avoid studies of which the result dies with the worker.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am still hopeful. A falcon, Time. But the coincidence is probably accidental.
Leonardo da Vinci
Drawing is based upon perspective, which is nothing else than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye.
Leonardo da Vinci
Whatever you do in life, if you want to be creative and intelligent, and develop your brain, you must do everything with the awareness that everything, in some way, connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing that never disappoints us.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death.
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
In the days of thy youth seek to obtain that which shall compensate the losses of thy old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
