Leonardo da Vinci
Here is a thing which the more you fear and avoid it the nearer you approach to it, and this is misery the more you flee from it the more miserable and restless you will become.
Leonardo da Vinci
What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art
Leonardo da Vinci
A diamond is just a lump of coal that stuck to its job.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
Whatever you think matters - doesn't. Follow this rule, and you will add decades to your life. Rodger Rosenblatt As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
