Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them.
Leonardo da Vinci
The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
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
He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.
Leonardo da Vinci
Each man is always in the middle of the surface of the earth and under the zenith of his own hemisphere, and over the centre of the earth.
Leonardo da Vinci
