More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
Leonardo da Vinci
People of higher talent work, even if they seem to do nothing
Leonardo da Vinci
If you do not rest on the good foundation of nature, you will labour with little honor and less profit.
Leonardo da Vinci
Everything comes from everything, and everything is made out of everything, and everything returns into everything.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is nothing more than a rational demonstration applied to the consideration of how objects in front of the eye transmit their image to it, by means of a pyramid of lines. The Pyramid is the name I apply to the lines which, starting from the surface and edges of each object, converge from a distance and meet in a single point.
Leonardo da Vinci
Given the cause nature produces the effect in the briefest manner that it can employ.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
The color of the object illuminated partakes of the color of that which illuminates it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
O speculators about perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you created in the like quest? Go and take your place with the seekers after gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
To speak ill of a good person is not truly good, all in all.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who has no doubt about his own ability will attain very little.
Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more it is needed the more it is rejected: and this is advice, which is unwillingly heeded by those who most need it, that is to say, by the ignorant.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience, the interpreter between creative nature and the human race, teaches the action of nature among mortals: how under the constraint of necessity she cannot act otherwise than as reason, who steers her helm, teaches her to act.
Leonardo da Vinci
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Leonardo da Vinci
All our knowledge originates in opinion.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.
Leonardo da Vinci
Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.
Leonardo da Vinci
I know very well that because I am unlettered some presumptuous people will think they have the right to criticize me, saying that I am an uncultured man. What stupid fools! Do they not know that I could reply to them as Marius did to the Roman patricians: Do those who pride themselves on the works of other men claim to challenge mine?
Leonardo da Vinci
No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn't pass the test of mathematical proof.
Leonardo da Vinci
