More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
That painter who has no doubts will achieve little.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
The deeper the feeling, the greater the pain
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
The good painter must paint two things: a person and the essence of his soul.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
We know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.
Leonardo da Vinci
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.
Leonardo da Vinci
True and great love springs out of great knowledge, and where you know little you can love but little or not at all.
Leonardo da Vinci
People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to punish evil is equivalent to authorizing it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
A diamond is just a lump of coal that stuck to its job.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci
Shadows which you see with difficulty, and whose boundaries you cannot define... these you should not represent as finished or sharply defined, for the result would be that your work would seem wooden.
Leonardo da Vinci
