More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
To enjoy - to love a thing for its own sake and for no other reason.
Leonardo da Vinci
Poetry is superior to painting in the presentation of words, and painting is superior to poetry in the presentation of facts. For this reason I judge painting to be superior to poetry.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every loss which we incur leaves behind it vexation in the memory, save the greatest loss of all, that is, death, which annihilates the memory, together with life.
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
The painter who draws merely by practice and by eye, without any reason, is like a mirror which copies every thing placed in front of it without being conscious of their existence.
Leonardo da Vinci
Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.
Leonardo da Vinci
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
That which can be lost cannot be deemed riches.
Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more it is needed the more it is rejected: and this is advice, which is unwillingly heeded by those who most need it, that is to say, by the ignorant.
Leonardo da Vinci
The great man presides over all his states of consciousness with obstinate rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature alone is the master of true genius.
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
He who wishes to see how the soul inhabits the body should look to see how that body uses its daily surroundings. If the dwelling is dirty and neglected, the body will be kept by its soul in the same condition, dirty and neglected.
Leonardo da Vinci
To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another.
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
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every action done by nature is done in the shortest way.
Leonardo da Vinci
It's not enough that you believe what you see. You must also understand what you see.
Leonardo da Vinci
