He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image

Leonardo da Vinci
Image
He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Who sows virtue ought to reap honour.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Men of genius sometimes accomplish most when they work least, for they are thinking out inventions.
Leonardo da Vinci
