Leonardo da Vinci
Make an effort to collect the good features from many beautiful faces.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
O mighty and once living instrument of formative nature. Incapable of availing thyself of thy vast strength thou hast to abandon a life of stillness and to obey the law which God and time gave to procreative nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.
Leonardo da Vinci
A good memory, which nature has endowed us with, causes things long past to seem present.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you put on more garments, the cold cannot reach you. Similarly, increase your patience and concentration and even great injuries cannot vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Wisdom is the daughter of experience
Leonardo da Vinci
