More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
The color of the object illuminated partakes of the color of that which illuminates it.
Leonardo da Vinci
The desire to know is natural to good men.
Leonardo da Vinci
No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn't pass the test of mathematical proof.
Leonardo da Vinci
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci
O mighty and once living instrument of formative nature. Incapable of availing thyself of thy vast strength thou hast to abandon a life of stillness and to obey the law which God and time gave to procreative nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
The greatest geniuses sometimes accomplish more when they work less.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who condemn the supreme certainty of mathematics feed on confusion, and can never silence the contradictions of the sophistical sciences which lead to eternal quackery.
Leonardo da Vinci
True and great love springs out of great knowledge, and where you know little you can love but little or not at all.
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
Realize that everything connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye - which sees all objects reversed - retains the images for some time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Things that are separate shall be united and acquire such virtue that they will restore to man his lost memory.
Leonardo da Vinci
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
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.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
Leonardo da Vinci
Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose
Leonardo da Vinci
