More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
My body is not a tomb for animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
The great man presides over all his states of consciousness with obstinate rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Do not imitate one another's style. If you do, so far as your art is concerned you will be called a grandson, rather than the son of Nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye is the window of the human body through which it feels its way and enjoys the beauty of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
A long life is a life well spent.

Leonardo da Vinci
The knowledge of all things is possible
Leonardo da Vinci
And you who wish to represent by words the form of man and all the aspects of his membrification, relinquish that idea. For the more minutely you describe the more you will confine the mind of the reader, and the more you will keep him from the knowledge of the thing described. And so it is necessary to draw and to describe.
Leonardo da Vinci
The greatest geniuses sometimes accomplish more when they work less.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid studies of which the result dies with the worker.
Leonardo da Vinci
All our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.
Leonardo da Vinci
Old age takes in part savoury wisdom for its food - see to that your old age will not lack in nourishment.
Leonardo da Vinci
Painting is concerned with all the 10 attributes of sight which are: Darkness, Light, Solidity and Colour, Form and Position, Distance and Propinquity, Motion and Rest.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you call painting dumb poetry, the painter may call poetry blind painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
Fire destroys all sophistry, that is deceit and maintains truth alone, that is gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
