More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
Practice should always be based upon a sound knowledge of theory.
Leonardo da Vinci
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
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
Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.
Leonardo da Vinci
In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
Vows begin when hope dies.
Leonardo da Vinci
The first of all simple colours is White ... We shall set down White for the representative of light, without which no colour can be seen Yellow for the earth Green for water Blue for air Red for fire and Black for total darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
We ought not to desire the impossible.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is ill to praise, and worse to blame, the thing which you do not understand.
Leonardo da Vinci
You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.
Leonardo da Vinci
The art of procreation and the members employed therein are so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who draws merely by practice and by eye, without any reason, is like a mirror which copies every thing placed in front of it without being conscious of their existence.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every action done by nature is done in the shortest way.
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
Avoid the precepts of those thinkers whose reasoning is not confirmed by experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements.
Leonardo da Vinci
Whatever you think matters - doesn't. Follow this rule, and you will add decades to your life. Rodger Rosenblatt As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
