Leonardo da Vinci
O Time with your teethy years! You swallow up all things little by little in a slow-motion, wrinkling process of dying.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.
Leonardo da Vinci
The sun gives spirit and life to the plants and the earth nourishes them with moisture.
