More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
We know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.
Leonardo da Vinci
I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is useful to constantly observe, note, and consider.
Leonardo da Vinci
Principles for the Development of a Complete Mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
A life well used procures a happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to appreciate life, all of life, is not to deserve it.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who draws merely by practice and by eye, without any reason, is like a mirror which copies every thing placed in front of it without being conscious of their existence.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye transmits its own image through the air to all the objects which face it, and also receives them on its own surface, whence the sensus communis takes them and considers them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid the precepts of those thinkers whose reasoning is not confirmed by experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
The instant the atmosphere is illuminated it will be filled with an infinite number of images which are produced by the various bodies and colours assembled in it. And the eye is the target, a lodestone, of these images.
Leonardo da Vinci
Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.
Leonardo da Vinci
If anyone wishes to see how the soul dwells in its body, let him observe how this body uses its daily habitation that is to say, if this is devoid of order and confused, the body will be kept in disorder and confusion by its soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
Why seek to embarrass [the artist] with vanities foreign to his quietness? Know you not that certain sciences require the whole man, leaving no part of him at leisure for your trifles?
Leonardo da Vinci
Who sows virtue ought to reap honour.
Leonardo da Vinci
The fame of the rich man dies with him the fame of the treasure, and not of the man who possessed it, remains.
Leonardo da Vinci
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
Leonardo da Vinci
