More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
You don't get into trouble because of the things you don't know. It is the things you don't know you don't know that really get you into a mess.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Be a mirror, absorb everything around you and still remain the same
Leonardo da Vinci
Who sows virtue ought to reap honour.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Leonardo da Vinci
life without love, is no life at all
Leonardo da Vinci
The good painter must paint two things: a person and the essence of his soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am still hopeful. A falcon, Time. But the coincidence is probably accidental.
Leonardo da Vinci
Many will be busied in taking away from a thing, which will grow in proportion as it is diminished.
Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
Some promises and time disappoint us
Leonardo da Vinci
