More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
If anyone wishes to see how the soul dwells in its body, let him observe how this body uses its daily habitation that is to say, if this is devoid of order and confused, the body will be kept in disorder and confusion by its soul.
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
I am never weary of being useful... In serving others I cannot do enough. No labor is sufficient to tire me.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men wrongly lament the flight of time, blaming it for being too swift they do not perceive that its passage is sufficiently long, but a good memory, which nature has given to us, causes things long past to seem present.
Leonardo da Vinci
Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
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
Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it.
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
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.
Leonardo da Vinci
