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
Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
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
Thirst will parch your tongue and your body will waste through lack of sleep ere you can describe in words that which painting instantly sets before the eye.
Leonardo da Vinci
In fact, whatever exists in the universe, in essence, in appearance, in the imagination, the painter has first in his mind and then in his hands ... it lies in his power to create them . . .

Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
To speak ill of a good person is not truly good, all in all.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who condemn the supreme certainty of mathematics feed on confusion, and can never silence the contradictions of the sophistical sciences which lead to eternal quackery.
Leonardo da Vinci
You don't get into trouble because of the things you don't know. It is the things you don't know you don't know that really get you into a mess.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature varies the seed according to the variety of the things she desires to produce in the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
A good painter has two main objects to paint, man and the intention of his soul.
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
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who walks straight rarely falls.
Leonardo da Vinci
Painting is concerned with the ten things you can see: these are darkness and brightness, substance and color, form and place, remoteness and nearness, movement and rest.
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
Therefore, O students, study mathematics and do not build without foundations.
Leonardo da Vinci
