More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
An infinite number of men will sell publicly and unhindered things of the very highest price, without leave from the Master of it while it never was theirs nor in their power and human justice will not prevent it.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Be a mirror, absorb everything around you and still remain the same
Leonardo da Vinci
A good memory, which nature has endowed us with, causes things long past to seem present.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Leonardo da Vinci
A diamond is just a lump of coal that stuck to its job.
Leonardo da Vinci
Iron rusts from disuse water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
