As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal. For it is always contemplating the beauty of its tail, which it spreads in the form of a wheel, and by its cries attracts to itself the gaze of the creatures that surround it. And this is the last vice to be conquered.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who has access to the fountain does not go to the water-pot.
Leonardo da Vinci
The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.
