More quotes by 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
No one should ever imitate the style of another because, with regard to art, he will be called a nephew and not a child of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid studies of which the result dies with the worker.
Leonardo da Vinci
The instant the atmosphere is illuminated it will be filled with an infinite number of images which are produced by the various bodies and colours assembled in it. And the eye is the target, a lodestone, of these images.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
Leonardo da Vinci
A diamond is just a lump of coal that stuck to its job.
Leonardo da Vinci
Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.
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 have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough we must apply. Being willing is not enough we must do.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
Strive to preserve your health and in this you will better succeed in proportion as you keep clear of the physicians, for their drugs are a kind of alchemy concerning which there are no fewer books than there are medicines.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience, the interpreter between creative nature and the human race, teaches the action of nature among mortals: how under the constraint of necessity she cannot act otherwise than as reason, who steers her helm, teaches her to act.
Leonardo da Vinci
You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.
Leonardo da Vinci
One can have no more mastery over the environment, than one has over himself.
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
The painter strives and competes with nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Whatever you do in life, if you want to be creative and intelligent, and develop your brain, you must do everything with the awareness that everything, in some way, connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
Intellectual passion dries out sensuality.
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.
Leonardo da Vinci
