Leonardo da Vinci
What induces you, oh man, to depart from your home in town, to leave parents and friends, and go to the countryside over mountains and valleys, if it is not for the beauty of the world of nature?
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.

Leonardo da Vinci
Virtue is our true wealth and the true reward of its possessor it cannot be lost, it never deserts us until life leaves us.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more you fear and avoid it the nearer you approach to it, and this is misery the more you flee from it the more miserable and restless you will become.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use.
Leonardo da Vinci
A single and distinct luminous body causes stronger relief in the objects than a diffused light as may be seen by comparing one side of a landscape illuminated by the sun, and one overshadowed by clouds, and illuminated only by the diffused light of the atmosphere.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
The sun gives spirit and life to the plants and the earth nourishes them with moisture.
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
