Leonardo da Vinci
An infinite number of men will sell publicly and unhindered things of the very highest price, without leave from the Master of it while it never was theirs nor in their power and human justice will not prevent it.
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
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
