More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.
Leonardo da Vinci
O sleepers! what a thing is slumber! Sleep resembles death. Ah, why then dost thou not work in such wise as that after death thou mayst retain a resemblance to perfect life, when, during life, thou art in sleep so like to the hapless dead?
Leonardo da Vinci
It's not enough that you believe what you see. You must also understand what you see.
Leonardo da Vinci
The earth is moved from its position by the weight of a tiny bird resting upon it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Of several bodies, all equally large and equally distant, that which is most brightly illuminated will appear to the eye nearest and largest.
Leonardo da Vinci
Intellectual passion dries out sensuality.
Leonardo da Vinci
Good culture is born of a good disposition and since the cause is more to be praised than the effect, I will rather praise a good disposition without culture, than good culture without the disposition.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you look at a wall spotted with stains...you may discover a resemblance to various landscapes, beautiful with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees. Or again, you may see battles and figures in action, or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects which you could reduce to complete and well-drawn figures.
Leonardo da Vinci
The soul is content to stay imprisoned in the human body... for through the eyes all the various things of nature are represented to the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
What induces you, oh man, to depart from your home in town, to leave parents and friends, and go to the countryside over mountains and valleys, if it is not for the beauty of the world of nature?
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to appreciate life, all of life, is not to deserve it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
Leonardo da Vinci
Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.
Leonardo da Vinci
Lust is the cause of generation.
Leonardo da Vinci
Study the science of art and the art of science.
Leonardo da Vinci
The imagination is to the effect as the shadow to the opaque body which causes the shadow.
Leonardo da Vinci
A day will come in which men will look upon an animal's murder the same way they look today upon a man's murder.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who draws merely by practice and by eye, without any reason, is like a mirror which copies every thing placed in front of it without being conscious of their existence.
Leonardo da Vinci
It reflects no great honour on a painter to be able to execute one thing well.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature has placed in the front part of man, as he moves, all those parts which when struck cause him to feel pain and this is felt in the joints of the legs, the forehead and the nose, and has been so devised for the preservation of man, because if such pain were not felt in these limbs they would be destroyed by the many blows they receive.
Leonardo da Vinci
