I love this site. It was lovingly hand-shaped it. Your soul transformed this into this art. It was perfect. I have tried to create another equal to it... but to no avail, so I will just have to paint the Sistine Chapel.

More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
If a man has a tent made of linen of which the apertures have all been stopped up, and be it twelve bracchia across (over twenty-five feet) and twelve in depth, he will be able to throw himself down from any height without sustaining injury. [His concept of the parachute.]
Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth was always but the daughter of time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am still hopeful. A falcon, Time. But the coincidence is probably accidental.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Nature has placed in the front part of man, as he moves, all those parts which when struck cause him to feel pain and this is felt in the joints of the legs, the forehead and the nose, and has been so devised for the preservation of man, because if such pain were not felt in these limbs they would be destroyed by the many blows they receive.
Leonardo da Vinci
life without love, is no life at all
Leonardo da Vinci
Ask advice of him who governs himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is the infinite alone that cannot be attained, for if it could it would become finite.
Leonardo da Vinci
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Leonardo da Vinci
We may call painting the grandchild of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you put on more garments, the cold cannot reach you. Similarly, increase your patience and concentration and even great injuries cannot vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
There are three aspects to perspective. The first has to do with how the size of objects seems to diminish according to distance: the second, the manner in which colors change the farther away they are from the eye the third defines how objects ought to be finished less carefully the farther away they are.
Leonardo da Vinci
Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements.
