Leonardo da Vinci
He who walks straight rarely falls.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
For youth, everything is sport.
Leonardo da Vinci
In an atmosphere of uniform density the most distant things seen through it, such as the mountains, in consequence of the great quantity of atmosphere which is between your eye and them, will appear blue. Therefore you should make the building... wall which is more distant less defined and bluer... five times as far away, make five times as blue.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
