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
Image
It is no small benefit on finding oneself in bed in the dark to go over again in the imagination the main lines of the forms previously studied, or other noteworthy things conceived by ingenious speculation.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Learning is the only thing that never disappoints us.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The Book of the science of Mechanics must precede the Book of useful inventions.
Leonardo da Vinci

Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.

Image
Our body is dependent on heaven and heaven on the Spirit.
