More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
The first object of the painter is to make a flat plane appear as a body in relief and projecting from that plane
Leonardo da Vinci
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who wishes to see how the soul inhabits the body should look to see how that body uses its daily surroundings. If the dwelling is dirty and neglected, the body will be kept by its soul in the same condition, dirty and neglected.
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
Iron rusts from disuse water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who walks straight rarely falls.
Leonardo da Vinci
The light and heat of the universe comes from the sun, and its cold and darkness from the withdrawal of the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is no higher or lower knowledge, but one only, flowing out of experimentation.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
A day will come in which men will look upon an animal's murder the same way they look today upon a man's murder.
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
That which has no limitations, has no form.
Leonardo da Vinci
Principles for the Development of a Complete Mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
We may call painting the grandchild of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.
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
O painter, take care lest the greed for gain prove a stronger incentive than renown in art, for to gain this renown is a far greater thing than is the renown of riches.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you call painting dumb poetry, the painter may call poetry blind painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements.
Leonardo da Vinci
