Image
O admirable necessity! O powerful action! What mind can penetrate your nature? What language can express this marvel? None, to be sure. This is where human discourse turns toward the contemplation of the divine.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Some promises and time disappoint us
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The vivacity and brightness of colors in a landscape will never bear any comparison with a landscape in nature when it is illumined by the sun, unless the painting is placed in such a position that it will receive the same light from the sun as does the landscape.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Nature has placed in the front part of man, as he moves, all those parts which when struck cause him to feel pain and this is felt in the joints of the legs, the forehead and the nose, and has been so devised for the preservation of man, because if such pain were not felt in these limbs they would be destroyed by the many blows they receive.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege to the place and attacks it and when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind.

Or again, you may see battles and figures in action, or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects which you could reduce to complete and well-drawn figures.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Everything comes from everything, and everything is made out of everything, and everything returns into everything.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
As you cannot do what you want, Want what you can do
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Here is a thing which the more you fear and avoid it the nearer you approach to it, and this is misery the more you flee from it the more miserable and restless you will become.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Make yourself a master of perspective, then acquire perfect knowledge of the proportions of men and other animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor.
