More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, labor in vain.
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
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature varies the seed according to the variety of the things she desires to produce in the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
To enjoy - to love a thing for its own sake and for no other reason.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
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 am not to blame for putting forward, in the course of my work on science, any general rule derived from a previous conclusion.
Leonardo da Vinci
Drawing is based upon perspective, which is nothing else than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye.
Leonardo da Vinci
The part always has a tendency to reunite with its whole in order to escape from its imperfection.
Leonardo da Vinci
Many will think they may reasonably blame me by alleging that my proofs are opposed to the authority of certain men held in the highest reverence by their inexperienced judgments not considering that my works are the issue of pure and simple experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
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
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are on the side whence the wind is blowing you will see the trees looking much lighter than you would see them on the other sides and this is due to the fact that the wind turns up the reverse side of the leaves which in all trees is much whiter than the upper side.
Leonardo da Vinci
