Being engulfed in practice without delicate knowledge related to it, is in many ways like entering a ship without knowing where it is headed.

More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough we must apply. Being willing is not enough we must do.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
Many will be busied in taking away from a thing, which will grow in proportion as it is diminished.
Leonardo da Vinci
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.
Leonardo da Vinci
Man and the animals are merely a passage and channel for food, a tomb for other animals, a haven for the dead, giving life by the death of others, a coffer full of corruption.
Leonardo da Vinci
Savage is he who saves himself.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
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
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
Learn diligence before speedy execution.
Leonardo da Vinci
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
Leonardo da Vinci
A life well used procures a happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
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
I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Be a mirror, absorb everything around you and still remain the same
Leonardo da Vinci
A man was desired to rise from bed because the sun was already up. He replied: If I had as far to go and as much to do as he has, I should be up by now but having but a little way to go, I shall not get up yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
