Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.
Leonardo da Vinci
If anyone wishes to see how the soul dwells in its body, let him observe how this body uses its daily habitation that is to say, if this is devoid of order and confused, the body will be kept in disorder and confusion by its soul.
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
If a man has a tent made of linen of which the apertures have all been stopped up, and be it twelve bracchia across (over twenty-five feet) and twelve in depth, he will be able to throw himself down from any height without sustaining injury. [His concept of the parachute.]
Leonardo da Vinci
For those colours which you wish to be beautiful, always first prepare a pure white ground.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn't pass the test of mathematical proof.
Leonardo da Vinci
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who become enamoured of the art, without having previously applied to the diligent study of the scientific part of it, may be compared to mariners who put to the sea in a ship without rudder or compass and therefore cannot be certain of arriving at the wished for port.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.
Leonardo da Vinci
Virtue is our true wealth and the true reward of its possessor it cannot be lost, it never deserts us until life leaves us.
Leonardo da Vinci
Ask advice of him who governs himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
