More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Drawing is based upon perspective, which is nothing else than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is no small benefit on finding oneself in bed in the dark to go over again in the imagination the main lines of the forms previously studied, or other noteworthy things conceived by ingenious speculation.
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
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
life without love, is no life at all
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature alone is the master of true genius.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places.
Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci
Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.
Leonardo da Vinci
The human being, creature of eyes, needs the image.
Leonardo da Vinci
Who sows virtue ought to reap honour.
Leonardo da Vinci
Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.
Leonardo da Vinci
The Book of the science of Mechanics must precede the Book of useful inventions.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Time with your teethy years! You swallow up all things little by little in a slow-motion, wrinkling process of dying.
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
Ask advice of him who governs himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
I would venture to affirm that a man cannot attain excellence if he satisfy the ignorant and not those of his own craft, and if he be not 'singular' or 'distant,' or whatever you like to call him.
Leonardo da Vinci
Necessity is the mistress and guide of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength.
Leonardo da Vinci
O admirable necessity! O powerful action! What mind can penetrate your nature? What language can express this marvel? None, to be sure. This is where human discourse turns toward the contemplation of the divine.
Leonardo da Vinci
