More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art
Leonardo da Vinci
Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.
Leonardo da Vinci
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
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
In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
Whatever you do in life, if you want to be creative and intelligent, and develop your brain, you must do everything with the awareness that everything, in some way, connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
Let no man who is not a Mathematician read the elements of my work.
Leonardo da Vinci
A life well used procures a happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use.
Leonardo da Vinci
One's thoughts turn towards Hope.
Leonardo da Vinci
Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.
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
O mighty and once living instrument of formative nature. Incapable of availing thyself of thy vast strength thou hast to abandon a life of stillness and to obey the law which God and time gave to procreative nature.
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
Truth was the only daughter of Time.
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
Poor is the man who desires a lot
Leonardo da Vinci
He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
Savage is he who saves himself.
Leonardo da Vinci
