More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
That which can be lost cannot be deemed riches.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Practice should always be based upon a sound knowledge of theory.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Happy will be those who give ear to the words of the dead: - The reading of good works and the observing of their precepts.
Leonardo da Vinci
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
A life well used procures a happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who become enamoured of the art, without having previously applied to the diligent study of the scientific part of it, may be compared to mariners who put to the sea in a ship without rudder or compass and therefore cannot be certain of arriving at the wished for port.
Leonardo da Vinci
The soul is content to stay imprisoned in the human body... for through the eyes all the various things of nature are represented to the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
Leonardo da Vinci
Fire destroys all sophistry, that is deceit and maintains truth alone, that is gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid the precepts of those thinkers whose reasoning is not confirmed by experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
The knowledge of all things is possible
Leonardo da Vinci
