More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
Ask counsel of him who rules himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who despises painting has no love for the philosophy in nature.
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. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you call painting dumb poetry, the painter may call poetry blind painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
Whatever you think matters - doesn't. Follow this rule, and you will add decades to your life. Rodger Rosenblatt As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
