The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The deeper the feeling, the greater the pain
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The painter strives and competes with nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Just as iron which is not used grows rusty, and water putrefies and freezes in the cold, so the mind of which no use is made is spoilt.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Good writing comes from good talent.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci

Be a mirror, absorb everything around you and still remain the same
