More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come.
Leonardo da Vinci
In the days of thy youth seek to obtain that which shall compensate the losses of thy old age.
Leonardo da Vinci
The art of procreation and the members employed therein are so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species.
Leonardo da Vinci
The imagination is to the effect as the shadow to the opaque body which causes the shadow.
Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
Do not imitate one another's style. If you do, so far as your art is concerned you will be called a grandson, rather than the son of Nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make an effort to collect the good features from many beautiful faces.
Leonardo da Vinci
Each man is always in the middle of the surface of the earth and under the zenith of his own hemisphere, and over the centre of the earth.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death.
Leonardo da Vinci
A good painter has two main objects to paint, man and the intention of his soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
The mind that engages in subjects of too great variety becomes confused and weakened.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use.
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
The variety of colour in objects cannot be discerned at a great distance, excepting in those parts which are directly lighted up by the solar rays.
Leonardo da Vinci
There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, those who do not see.
Leonardo da Vinci
O sleepers! what a thing is slumber! Sleep resembles death. Ah, why then dost thou not work in such wise as that after death thou mayst retain a resemblance to perfect life, when, during life, thou art in sleep so like to the hapless dead?
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
A long life is a life well spent.
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
Realize that everything connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
