O sleepers! what a thing is slumber! Sleep resembles death. Ah, why then dost thou not work in such wise as that after death thou mayst retain a resemblance to perfect life, when, during life, thou art in sleep so like to the hapless dead?
Leonardo da Vinci
If on your own or by the criticism of others you discover error in your work, correct it then and there otherwise in exposing your work to the public, you will expose your error also.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art
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

Do they not know that I could reply to them as Marius did to the Roman patricians: Do those who pride themselves on the works of other men claim to challenge mine?
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Leonardo da Vinci
