More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art
Leonardo da Vinci
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.
Leonardo da Vinci
A day will come in which men will look upon an animal's murder the same way they look today upon a man's murder.
Leonardo da Vinci
One's thoughts turn towards Hope.
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to punish evil is equivalent to authorizing it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
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
Who sows virtue ought to reap honour.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye encompasses the beauty of the whole world.
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
The first of all simple colours is White ... We shall set down White for the representative of light, without which no colour can be seen Yellow for the earth Green for water Blue for air Red for fire and Black for total darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment.
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
Some promises and time disappoint us
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye which turns from a white object in the light of the sun and goes into a less fully lighted place will see everything as dark.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is nothing more than a rational demonstration applied to the consideration of how objects in front of the eye transmit their image to it, by means of a pyramid of lines. The Pyramid is the name I apply to the lines which, starting from the surface and edges of each object, converge from a distance and meet in a single point.
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.
Leonardo da Vinci
In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes so with present time.
Leonardo da Vinci
A man was desired to rise from bed because the sun was already up. He replied: If I had as far to go and as much to do as he has, I should be up by now but having but a little way to go, I shall not get up yet.
