More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
