More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
Leonardo da Vinci
Affective gestures pointing to things near either in time or space should be made with the hand not very far from the body of the person pointing and if these things are distant, the hand of the painter should be more extended and the face turned toward the person to whom he is addressing the demonstration.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you do not rest on the good foundation of nature, you will labour with little honor and less profit.
Leonardo da Vinci
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Intellectual passion dries out sensuality.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am not to blame for putting forward, in the course of my work on science, any general rule derived from a previous conclusion.
Leonardo da Vinci
Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.
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
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
Leonardo da Vinci
That which can be lost cannot be deemed riches.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am never weary of being useful... In serving others I cannot do enough. No labor is sufficient to tire me.
Leonardo da Vinci
In the days of thy youth seek to obtain that which shall compensate the losses of thy old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is the infinite alone that cannot be attained, for if it could it would become finite.
Leonardo da Vinci
