More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.

He who fears dangers will not perish by them.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye - which sees all objects reversed - retains the images for some time.
Leonardo da Vinci
O admirable necessity! O powerful action! What mind can penetrate your nature? What language can express this marvel? None, to be sure. This is where human discourse turns toward the contemplation of the divine.
Leonardo da Vinci
The knowledge of all things is possible
Leonardo da Vinci
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.
Leonardo da Vinci
life without love, is no life at all
Leonardo da Vinci
