More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Whoever in debate quotes authority uses not intellect, but memory.
Leonardo da Vinci
The color of the object illuminated partakes of the color of that which illuminates it.
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
That which can be lost cannot be deemed riches.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is nothing more than a rational demonstration applied to the consideration of how objects in front of the eye transmit their image to it, by means of a pyramid of lines. The Pyramid is the name I apply to the lines which, starting from the surface and edges of each object, converge from a distance and meet in a single point.
Leonardo da Vinci
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Men wrongly lament the flight of time, blaming it for being too swift they do not perceive that its passage is sufficiently long, but a good memory, which nature has given to us, causes things long past to seem present.
Leonardo da Vinci
If anyone wishes to see how the soul dwells in its body, let him observe how this body uses its daily habitation that is to say, if this is devoid of order and confused, the body will be kept in disorder and confusion by its soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron which is not used grows rusty, and water putrefies and freezes in the cold, so the mind of which no use is made is spoilt.
Leonardo da Vinci
Let not your rage or malice destroy a life.
Leonardo da Vinci
People of higher talent work, even if they seem to do nothing
Leonardo da Vinci
Many will be busied in taking away from a thing, which will grow in proportion as it is diminished.
Leonardo da Vinci
Love, Fear, and Esteem, - Write these on three stones.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
