Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
O speculators about perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you created in the like quest? Go and take your place with the seekers after gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
A long life is a life well spent.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.
Leonardo da Vinci
As you cannot do what you want, Want what you can do
Leonardo da Vinci
Man and the animals are merely a passage and channel for food, a tomb for other animals, a haven for the dead, giving life by the death of others, a coffer full of corruption.
Leonardo da Vinci
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death.
Leonardo da Vinci
