More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Inequality is the cause of all local movements.
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
Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron which is not used grows rusty, and water putrefies and freezes in the cold, so the mind of which no use is made is spoilt.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art lives from constraints and dies from freedom.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
It reflects no great honour on a painter to be able to execute one thing well.

Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
Leonardo da Vinci
What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Why seek to embarrass [the artist] with vanities foreign to his quietness? Know you not that certain sciences require the whole man, leaving no part of him at leisure for your trifles?
Leonardo da Vinci
We may call painting the grandchild of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye transmits its own image through the air to all the objects which face it, and also receives them on its own surface, whence the sensus communis takes them and considers them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege to the place and attacks it and when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Happy will they be who lend ear to the words of the dead.
Leonardo da Vinci
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
