More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Nature varies the seed according to the variety of the things she desires to produce in the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
In an atmosphere of uniform density the most distant things seen through it, such as the mountains, in consequence of the great quantity of atmosphere which is between your eye and them, will appear blue. Therefore you should make the building... wall which is more distant less defined and bluer... five times as far away, make five times as blue.
Leonardo da Vinci
To discover the soul living in somebody's body, we watch the surrounding of the body, and if it's messy and disordered, so is the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are painting you should take a flat mirror and often look at your work within it, and it will then be seen in reverse, and will appear to be by the hand of some other master, and you will be better able to judge of its faults than in any other way.
Leonardo da Vinci
O speculators about perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you created in the like quest? Go and take your place with the seekers after gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
Necessity is the mistress and guide of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learn diligence before speedy execution.
Leonardo da Vinci
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
Leonardo da Vinci
One can have no more mastery over the environment, than one has over himself.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye encompasses the beauty of the whole world.
Leonardo da Vinci
Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am never weary of being useful... In serving others I cannot do enough. No labor is sufficient to tire me.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Time with your teethy years! You swallow up all things little by little in a slow-motion, wrinkling process of dying.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter strives and competes with nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
The soul is content to stay imprisoned in the human body... for through the eyes all the various things of nature are represented to the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
We know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.
Leonardo da Vinci
The desire to know is natural to good men.
Leonardo da Vinci
What induces you, oh man, to depart from your home in town, to leave parents and friends, and go to the countryside over mountains and valleys, if it is not for the beauty of the world of nature?
Leonardo da Vinci
