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
To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.
Leonardo da Vinci
If we make mistakes in our first compositions and do not know them, we may not amend them.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
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
