More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
life without love, is no life at all
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature has placed in the front part of man, as he moves, all those parts which when struck cause him to feel pain and this is felt in the joints of the legs, the forehead and the nose, and has been so devised for the preservation of man, because if such pain were not felt in these limbs they would be destroyed by the many blows they receive.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature varies the seed according to the variety of the things she desires to produce in the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is a far worthier thing to read by the light of experience than to adorn oneself with the labors of others.
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
The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.
Leonardo da Vinci
In time and with water, everything changes.
Leonardo da Vinci
A diamond is just a lump of coal that stuck to its job.
Leonardo da Vinci
Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who draws by practise and judgment of the eye without the use of reason is like the mirror which reproduces within itself all the objects which are set opposite to it without knowledge of the same.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men of genius sometimes accomplish most when they work least, for they are thinking out inventions.
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
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
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
You should often amuse yourself when you take a walk for recreation, in watching and taking note of the attitudes and actions of men as they talk and dispute, or laugh or come to blows with one another... noting these down with rapid strokes, in a little pocket-book which you ought always to carry with you.
Leonardo da Vinci
It reflects no great honour on a painter to be able to execute one thing well.
Leonardo da Vinci
Affective gestures pointing to things near either in time or space should be made with the hand not very far from the body of the person pointing and if these things are distant, the hand of the painter should be more extended and the face turned toward the person to whom he is addressing the demonstration.
Leonardo da Vinci
A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.
Leonardo da Vinci
