Leonardo da Vinci
To enjoy - to love a thing for its own sake and for no other reason.
Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
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
Thirst will parch your tongue and your body will waste through lack of sleep ere you can describe in words that which painting instantly sets before the eye.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are on the side whence the wind is blowing you will see the trees looking much lighter than you would see them on the other sides and this is due to the fact that the wind turns up the reverse side of the leaves which in all trees is much whiter than the upper side.
Leonardo da Vinci
