More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.
Leonardo da Vinci
People of higher talent work, even if they seem to do nothing
Leonardo da Vinci
It is no small benefit on finding oneself in bed in the dark to go over again in the imagination the main lines of the forms previously studied, or other noteworthy things conceived by ingenious speculation.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
That which has no limitations, has no form.
Leonardo da Vinci
We might say that the earth has the spirit of growth that its flesh is the soil.
Leonardo da Vinci
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
Leonardo da Vinci
To speak ill of a good person is not truly good, all in all.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is no higher or lower knowledge, but one only, flowing out of experimentation.
Leonardo da Vinci
Good writing comes from good talent.
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
A single and distinct luminous body causes stronger relief in the objects than a diffused light as may be seen by comparing one side of a landscape illuminated by the sun, and one overshadowed by clouds, and illuminated only by the diffused light of the atmosphere.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye which turns from a white object in the light of the sun and goes into a less fully lighted place will see everything as dark.
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
Of several bodies, all equally large and equally distant, that which is most brightly illuminated will appear to the eye nearest and largest.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
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
The greatest geniuses sometimes accomplish more when they work less.
Leonardo da Vinci
Iron rusts from disuse water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
