More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
We know well that mistakes are more easily detected in the works of others than in one's own.
Leonardo da Vinci
Painting is concerned with the ten things you can see: these are darkness and brightness, substance and color, form and place, remoteness and nearness, movement and rest.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experiment is the sole interpreter of the artifices of Nature.
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
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
Virtue is our true wealth and the true reward of its possessor it cannot be lost, it never deserts us until life leaves us.
Leonardo da Vinci
I love this site. It was lovingly hand-shaped it. Your soul transformed this into this art. It was perfect. I have tried to create another equal to it... but to no avail, so I will just have to paint the Sistine Chapel.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who has access to the fountain does not go to the water-pot.
Leonardo da Vinci
We ought not to desire the impossible.
Leonardo da Vinci
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
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
Painting embraces and contains within itself all the things which nature produces or which results from the fortuitous actions of men... he is but a poor master who makes only a single figure well.
Leonardo da Vinci
The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue.
Leonardo da Vinci
Ask counsel of him who rules himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to appreciate life, all of life, is not to deserve it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Wisdom is the daughter of experience
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
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
