More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
He who despises painting has no love for the philosophy in nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who condemn the supreme certainty of mathematics feed on confusion, and can never silence the contradictions of the sophistical sciences which lead to eternal quackery.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who has no doubt about his own ability will attain very little.
Leonardo da Vinci
Instrumental or mechanical science is the noblest and above all others, the most useful.
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
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
Of several bodies, all equally large and equally distant, that which is most brightly illuminated will appear to the eye nearest and largest.
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
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is no result in nature without a cause understand the cause and you will have no need of the experiment.
Leonardo da Vinci
All objects transmit their image to the eye in pyramids and the nearer to the eye these pyramids are intersected the smaller will the image appear of the objects which cause them.
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
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Leonardo da Vinci
Being engulfed in practice without delicate knowledge related to it, is in many ways like entering a ship without knowing where it is headed.
Leonardo da Vinci
Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.
Leonardo da Vinci
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
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
When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
Leonardo da Vinci
