More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art
Leonardo da Vinci
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
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
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Ask counsel of him who rules himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.
Leonardo da Vinci
Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege to the place and attacks it and when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind.
Leonardo da Vinci
I know very well that because I am unlettered some presumptuous people will think they have the right to criticize me, saying that I am an uncultured man. What stupid fools! Do they not know that I could reply to them as Marius did to the Roman patricians: Do those who pride themselves on the works of other men claim to challenge mine?
Leonardo da Vinci
No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn't pass the test of mathematical proof.
Leonardo da Vinci
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Leonardo da Vinci
There are many kinds of beauty as people who possess it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
Let no man who is not a Mathematician read the elements of my work.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are representing a white body let it be surrounded by ample space, because as white has no colour of its own, it is tinged and altered in some degree by the colour of the objects surrounding it
Leonardo da Vinci
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
Leonardo da Vinci
Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make an effort to collect the good features from many beautiful faces.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learn diligence before speedy execution.
Leonardo da Vinci
