Leonardo da Vinci
Why are the bones of great fishes, and oysters and corals and various other shells and sea-snails, found on the high tops of mountains that border the sea, in the same way in which they are found in the depths of the sea?
Leonardo da Vinci
A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.
Leonardo da Vinci
The days are long enough for those who use them.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Inequality is the cause of all local movements.
Leonardo da Vinci
