Strive to preserve your health and in this you will better succeed in proportion as you keep clear of the physicians, for their drugs are a kind of alchemy concerning which there are no fewer books than there are medicines.

More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter strives and competes with nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Good writing comes from good talent.
Leonardo da Vinci
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men of genius sometimes accomplish most when they work least, for they are thinking out inventions.
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
Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience never errs it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.
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
Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
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
I would venture to affirm that a man cannot attain excellence if he satisfy the ignorant and not those of his own craft, and if he be not 'singular' or 'distant,' or whatever you like to call him.
Leonardo da Vinci
The discovery of a good wine is increasingly better for mankind than the discovery of a new star.
Leonardo da Vinci
Being engulfed in practice without delicate knowledge related to it, is in many ways like entering a ship without knowing where it is headed.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Time! consumer of all things O envious age! thou dost destroy all things and devour all things with the relentless teeth of years, little by little in a slow death. Helen, when she looked in her mirror, seeing the withered wrinkles made in her face by old age, wept and wondered why she had twice been carried away.
Leonardo da Vinci
He only moves toward the perfection of his art whose criticism surpasses his achievement.
Leonardo da Vinci
Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.
Leonardo da Vinci
The days are long enough for those who use them.
Leonardo da Vinci
