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
If you are on the side whence the wind is blowing you will see the trees looking much lighter than you would see them on the other sides and this is due to the fact that the wind turns up the reverse side of the leaves which in all trees is much whiter than the upper side.
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
Who sows virtue ought to reap honour.
Leonardo da Vinci
Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you call painting dumb poetry, the painter may call poetry blind painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
You should often amuse yourself when you take a walk for recreation, in watching and taking note of the attitudes and actions of men as they talk and dispute, or laugh or come to blows with one another... noting these down with rapid strokes, in a little pocket-book which you ought always to carry with you.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
Poor is the man who desires a lot
Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more you fear and avoid it the nearer you approach to it, and this is misery the more you flee from it the more miserable and restless you will become.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
The knowledge of all things is possible
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing that never disappoints us.
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
What induces you, oh man, to depart from your home in town, to leave parents and friends, and go to the countryside over mountains and valleys, if it is not for the beauty of the world of nature?
Leonardo da Vinci
He who wishes to see how the soul inhabits the body should look to see how that body uses its daily surroundings. If the dwelling is dirty and neglected, the body will be kept by its soul in the same condition, dirty and neglected.
Leonardo da Vinci
Realize that everything connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
The cat is nature's masterpiece.
Leonardo da Vinci
Let no man who is not a Mathematician read the elements of my work.
Leonardo da Vinci
