That painter who has no doubts will achieve little.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Vows begin when hope dies.
Leonardo da Vinci
We know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
True and great love springs out of great knowledge, and where you know little you can love but little or not at all.
Leonardo da Vinci
To discover the soul living in somebody's body, we watch the surrounding of the body, and if it's messy and disordered, so is the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
The fox when it sees a flock of herons or magpies or birds of that kind, suddenly flings himself on the ground with his mouth open to look as he were dead and these birds want to peck at his tongue, and he bites off their heads.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.
Leonardo da Vinci
It's not enough that you believe what you see. You must also understand what you see.
Leonardo da Vinci
