As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal. For it is always contemplating the beauty of its tail, which it spreads in the form of a wheel, and by its cries attracts to itself the gaze of the creatures that surround it.

Leonardo da Vinci
Ask counsel of him who rules himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
The Medici made me and the Medici destroyed me.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
