More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose
Leonardo da Vinci
