More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
If you call painting dumb poetry, the painter may call poetry blind painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
O sleepers! what a thing is slumber! Sleep resembles death. Ah, why then dost thou not work in such wise as that after death thou mayst retain a resemblance to perfect life, when, during life, thou art in sleep so like to the hapless dead?
Leonardo da Vinci
He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is no higher or lower knowledge, but one only, flowing out of experimentation.
Leonardo da Vinci
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Let not your rage or malice destroy a life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learn diligence before speedy execution.
Leonardo da Vinci
You should often amuse yourself when you take a walk for recreation, in watching and taking note of the attitudes and actions of men as they talk and dispute, or laugh or come to blows with one another... noting these down with rapid strokes, in a little pocket-book which you ought always to carry with you.
Leonardo da Vinci
To speak ill of a good person is not truly good, all in all.
Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am still hopeful. A falcon, Time. But the coincidence is probably accidental.
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
In the days of thy youth seek to obtain that which shall compensate the losses of thy old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
Instrumental or mechanical science is the noblest and above all others, the most useful.
Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
O painter, take care lest the greed for gain prove a stronger incentive than renown in art, for to gain this renown is a far greater thing than is the renown of riches.
Leonardo da Vinci
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie.
Leonardo da Vinci
