More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The eye - which sees all objects reversed - retains the images for some time.
Leonardo da Vinci
We may call painting the grandchild of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
That which can be lost cannot be deemed riches.
Leonardo da Vinci
If anyone wishes to see how the soul dwells in its body, let him observe how this body uses its daily habitation that is to say, if this is devoid of order and confused, the body will be kept in disorder and confusion by its soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Fire is to represent truth because it destroys all sophistry and lies and the mask is for lying and falsehood which conceal truth.
Leonardo da Vinci
Being engulfed in practice without delicate knowledge related to it, is in many ways like entering a ship without knowing where it is headed.
Leonardo da Vinci
We must doubt the certainty of everything which passes through the senses, but how much more ought we to doubt things contrary to the senses, such as the existence of God and the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Time with your teethy years! You swallow up all things little by little in a slow-motion, wrinkling process of dying.
Leonardo da Vinci
The greatest geniuses sometimes accomplish more when they work less.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
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
No one should ever imitate the style of another because, with regard to art, he will be called a nephew and not a child of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
The first of all simple colours is White ... We shall set down White for the representative of light, without which no colour can be seen Yellow for the earth Green for water Blue for air Red for fire and Black for total darkness.
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. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci
Good writing comes from good talent.
Leonardo da Vinci
There are many kinds of beauty as people who possess it.
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
Things that are separate shall be united and acquire such virtue that they will restore to man his lost memory.
Leonardo da Vinci
