Leonardo da Vinci
Old age takes in part savoury wisdom for its food - see to that your old age will not lack in nourishment.
Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
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
He who walks straight rarely falls.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are alone you are all your own.
