Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.
Leonardo da Vinci
Wisdom is the daughter of experience
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
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
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
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
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
Shadows which you see with difficulty, and whose boundaries you cannot define... these you should not represent as finished or sharply defined, for the result would be that your work would seem wooden.
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to appreciate life, all of life, is not to deserve it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Lying on a feather mattress or quilt will not bring you renown.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every loss which we incur leaves behind it vexation in the memory, save the greatest loss of all, that is, death, which annihilates the memory, together with life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Realize that everything connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth was the only daughter of Time.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye which turns from a white object in the light of the sun and goes into a less fully lighted place will see everything as dark.
Leonardo da Vinci
Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
Leonardo da Vinci
