Leonardo da Vinci
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
Leonardo da Vinci
Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.
Leonardo da Vinci
An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
Leonardo da Vinci

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 body of the earth is of the nature of a fish... because it draws water as its breath instead of air.
Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
Love, Fear, and Esteem, - Write these on three stones.
Leonardo da Vinci
