More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
As you cannot do what you want, Want what you can do
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.
Leonardo da Vinci
When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come.
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
A good memory, which nature has endowed us with, causes things long past to seem present.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Lying on a feather mattress or quilt will not bring you renown.
Leonardo da Vinci
We know well that mistakes are more easily detected in the works of others than in one's own.
Leonardo da Vinci
Things that are separate shall be united and acquire such virtue that they will restore to man his lost memory.
Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more you fear and avoid it the nearer you approach to it, and this is misery the more you flee from it the more miserable and restless you will become.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make yourself a master of perspective, then acquire perfect knowledge of the proportions of men and other animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is no higher or lower knowledge, but one only, flowing out of experimentation.
Leonardo da Vinci
There are many kinds of beauty as people who possess it.
Leonardo da Vinci
