Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
He who fears dangers will not perish by them.
Leonardo da Vinci

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

And so it is necessary to draw and to describe.
Leonardo da Vinci
Strive to preserve your health and in this you will better succeed in proportion as you keep clear of the physicians, for their drugs are a kind of alchemy concerning which there are no fewer books than there are medicines.
Leonardo da Vinci
