Leonardo da Vinci

What induces you, oh man, to depart from your home in town, to leave parents and friends, and go to the countryside over mountains and valleys, if it is not for the beauty of the world of nature?
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life.
Leonardo da Vinci

The Medici made me and the Medici destroyed me.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The art of procreation and the members employed therein are so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species.

Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image

Leonardo da Vinci
Image
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
We might say that the earth has the spirit of growth that its flesh is the soil.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
I am still hopeful. A falcon, Time. But the coincidence is probably accidental.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The painter who draws by practise and judgment of the eye without the use of reason is like the mirror which reproduces within itself all the objects which are set opposite to it without knowledge of the same.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
You don't get into trouble because of the things you don't know. It is the things you don't know you don't know that really get you into a mess.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
If we make mistakes in our first compositions and do not know them, we may not amend them.
