Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Men wrongly lament the flight of time, blaming it for being too swift they do not perceive that its passage is sufficiently long, but a good memory, which nature has given to us, causes things long past to seem present.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men of genius sometimes accomplish most when they work least, for they are thinking out inventions.
Leonardo da Vinci
To be a winner you must want to win but must know of the chance of losing and must not fear of it.
Leonardo da Vinci
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
Leonardo da Vinci

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.
Leonardo da Vinci
