Leonardo da Vinci
O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Leonardo da Vinci
Wisdom is the daughter of experience
Leonardo da Vinci
Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci
That which has no limitations, has no form.
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
