Leonardo da Vinci
What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art
Leonardo da Vinci

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

Leonardo da Vinci
In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements.
Leonardo da Vinci
And you who wish to represent by words the form of man and all the aspects of his membrification, relinquish that idea. For the more minutely you describe the more you will confine the mind of the reader, and the more you will keep him from the knowledge of the thing described. And so it is necessary to draw and to describe.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is the infinite alone that cannot be attained, for if it could it would become finite.
Leonardo da Vinci
A man was desired to rise from bed because the sun was already up. He replied: If I had as far to go and as much to do as he has, I should be up by now but having but a little way to go, I shall not get up yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
True and great love springs out of great knowledge, and where you know little you can love but little or not at all.
Leonardo da Vinci
