Leonardo da Vinci
Let not your rage or malice destroy a life.
Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
People of higher talent work, even if they seem to do nothing
Leonardo da Vinci
Virtue is our true wealth and the true reward of its possessor it cannot be lost, it never deserts us until life leaves us.
Leonardo da Vinci
