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
The eye - which sees all objects reversed - retains the images for some time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Of the horse I will say nothing because I know the times.
Leonardo da Vinci
To enjoy - to love a thing for its own sake and for no other reason.
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
