More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
Leonardo da Vinci
Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.
Leonardo da Vinci
The Book of the science of Mechanics must precede the Book of useful inventions.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every loss which we incur leaves behind it vexation in the memory, save the greatest loss of all, that is, death, which annihilates the memory, together with life.
Leonardo da Vinci
No one should ever imitate the style of another because, with regard to art, he will be called a nephew and not a child of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Fire destroys all sophistry, that is deceit and maintains truth alone, that is gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.
Leonardo da Vinci
Inequality is the cause of all local movements.
Leonardo da Vinci
It's not enough that you believe what you see. You must also understand what you see.
Leonardo da Vinci
Good writing comes from good talent.
Leonardo da Vinci
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am never weary of being useful... In serving others I cannot do enough. No labor is sufficient to tire me.
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
Learning never exhausts the mind.
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
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
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
I am not to blame for putting forward, in the course of my work on science, any general rule derived from a previous conclusion.
Leonardo da Vinci
