Leonardo da Vinci
The desire to know is natural to good men.
Leonardo da Vinci
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Time! consumer of all things O envious age! thou dost destroy all things and devour all things with the relentless teeth of years, little by little in a slow death.

Leonardo da Vinci
