More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The deeper the feeling, the greater the pain
Leonardo da Vinci
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
I have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly.
Leonardo da Vinci
The fame of the rich man dies with him the fame of the treasure, and not of the man who possessed it, remains.
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
There is no higher or lower knowledge, but one only, flowing out of experimentation.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye which turns from a white object in the light of the sun and goes into a less fully lighted place will see everything as dark.
Leonardo da Vinci
The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Lust is the cause of generation Appetite is the support of life Fear or timidity is the prolongation of life, and Fraud the preservation of its instruments.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is ill to praise, and worse to blame, the thing which you do not understand.
Leonardo da Vinci
If on your own or by the criticism of others you discover error in your work, correct it then and there otherwise in exposing your work to the public, you will expose your error also.
Leonardo da Vinci
To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another.
Leonardo da Vinci
All objects transmit their image to the eye in pyramids and the nearer to the eye these pyramids are intersected the smaller will the image appear of the objects which cause them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Things that are separate shall be united and acquire such virtue that they will restore to man his lost memory.
Leonardo da Vinci
A man was desired to rise from bed because the sun was already up. He replied: If I had as far to go and as much to do as he has, I should be up by now but having but a little way to go, I shall not get up yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
Good culture is born of a good disposition and since the cause is more to be praised than the effect, I will rather praise a good disposition without culture, than good culture without the disposition.
Leonardo da Vinci
The human being, creature of eyes, needs the image.
Leonardo da Vinci
We know well that mistakes are more easily detected in the works of others than in one's own.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
