In the days of thy youth seek to obtain that which shall compensate the losses of thy old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature never breaks her own laws.
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
Many will think they may reasonably blame me by alleging that my proofs are opposed to the authority of certain men held in the highest reverence by their inexperienced judgments not considering that my works are the issue of pure and simple experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
Strive to preserve your health and in this you will better succeed in proportion as you keep clear of the physicians, for their drugs are a kind of alchemy concerning which there are no fewer books than there are medicines.
Leonardo da Vinci
We might say that the earth has the spirit of growth that its flesh is the soil.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you look at a wall spotted with stains...you may discover a resemblance to various landscapes, beautiful with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees. Or again, you may see battles and figures in action, or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects which you could reduce to complete and well-drawn figures.
Leonardo da Vinci
The body of the earth is of the nature of a fish... because it draws water as its breath instead of air.
Leonardo da Vinci
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.
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
Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie.
Leonardo da Vinci
People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, labor in vain.
Leonardo da Vinci
We ought not to desire the impossible.
Leonardo da Vinci
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.
Leonardo da Vinci
