More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The human being, creature of eyes, needs the image.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
And you who wish to represent by words the form of man and all the aspects of his membrification, relinquish that idea. For the more minutely you describe the more you will confine the mind of the reader, and the more you will keep him from the knowledge of the thing described. And so it is necessary to draw and to describe.
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
Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
Leonardo da Vinci
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
Leonardo da Vinci
The soul is content to stay imprisoned in the human body... for through the eyes all the various things of nature are represented to the soul.
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
The eye is the window of the human body through which it feels its way and enjoys the beauty of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience, the interpreter between creative nature and the human race, teaches the action of nature among mortals: how under the constraint of necessity she cannot act otherwise than as reason, who steers her helm, teaches her to act.
Leonardo da Vinci
Therefore, O students, study mathematics and do not build without foundations.
Leonardo da Vinci
To discover the soul living in somebody's body, we watch the surrounding of the body, and if it's messy and disordered, so is the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
O speculators about perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you created in the like quest? Go and take your place with the seekers after gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men wrongly lament the flight of time, blaming it for being too swift they do not perceive that its passage is sufficiently long, but a good memory, which nature has given to us, causes things long past to seem present.
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
One can have no more mastery over the environment, than one has over himself.
Leonardo da Vinci
The sun gives spirit and life to the plants and the earth nourishes them with moisture.
Leonardo da Vinci
Intellectual passion dries out sensuality.
Leonardo da Vinci
He only moves toward the perfection of his art whose criticism surpasses his achievement.
Leonardo da Vinci
