More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
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
Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
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
Instrumental or mechanical science is the noblest and above all others, the most useful.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every loss which we incur leaves behind it vexation in the memory, save the greatest loss of all, that is, death, which annihilates the memory, together with life.
Leonardo da Vinci
The cat is nature's masterpiece.
Leonardo da Vinci
Of the horse I will say nothing because I know the times.
Leonardo da Vinci
An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength.
Leonardo da Vinci
Affective gestures pointing to things near either in time or space should be made with the hand not very far from the body of the person pointing and if these things are distant, the hand of the painter should be more extended and the face turned toward the person to whom he is addressing the demonstration.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
Study the science of art and the art of science.
Leonardo da Vinci
To any white body receiving the light from the sun, or the air, the shadows will be of a bluish cast.
Leonardo da Vinci
Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you put on more garments, the cold cannot reach you. Similarly, increase your patience and concentration and even great injuries cannot vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn't pass the test of mathematical proof.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron which is not used grows rusty, and water putrefies and freezes in the cold, so the mind of which no use is made is spoilt.
Leonardo da Vinci
