More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
The smallest feline is a masterpiece.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye which turns from a white object in the light of the sun and goes into a less fully lighted place will see everything as dark.
Leonardo da Vinci
Poor is the man who desires a lot
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning never exhausts the mind.
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
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
Leonardo da Vinci
A life well used procures a happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it.
Leonardo da Vinci
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience never errs it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment.
Leonardo da Vinci
We might say that the earth has the spirit of growth that its flesh is the soil.
Leonardo da Vinci
In an atmosphere of uniform density the most distant things seen through it, such as the mountains, in consequence of the great quantity of atmosphere which is between your eye and them, will appear blue. Therefore you should make the building... wall which is more distant less defined and bluer... five times as far away, make five times as blue.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
You must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every loss which we incur leaves behind it vexation in the memory, save the greatest loss of all, that is, death, which annihilates the memory, together with life.
Leonardo da Vinci
