More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Men of genius sometimes accomplish most when they work least, for they are thinking out inventions.
Leonardo da Vinci
No one should ever imitate the style of another because, with regard to art, he will be called a nephew and not a child of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Instrumental or mechanical science is the noblest and above all others, the most useful.
Leonardo da Vinci
In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
You must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you look at a wall spotted with stains...you may discover a resemblance to various landscapes, beautiful with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees. Or again, you may see battles and figures in action, or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects which you could reduce to complete and well-drawn figures.
Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
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
Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
Thou, O God, dost sell us all good things at the price of labor.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who wishes to see how the soul inhabits the body should look to see how that body uses its daily surroundings. If the dwelling is dirty and neglected, the body will be kept by its soul in the same condition, dirty and neglected.
Leonardo da Vinci
Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.
Leonardo da Vinci
The first of all simple colours is White ... We shall set down White for the representative of light, without which no colour can be seen Yellow for the earth Green for water Blue for air Red for fire and Black for total darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
The earth is moved from its position by the weight of a tiny bird resting upon it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid the precepts of those thinkers whose reasoning is not confirmed by experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose
Leonardo da Vinci
