Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
The art of procreation and the members employed therein are so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species.

Lust is the cause of generation.
Leonardo da Vinci
The soul is content to stay imprisoned in the human body... for through the eyes all the various things of nature are represented to the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
O sleepers! what a thing is slumber! Sleep resembles death. Ah, why then dost thou not work in such wise as that after death thou mayst retain a resemblance to perfect life, when, during life, thou art in sleep so like to the hapless dead?
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth was always but the daughter of time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Whatever you do in life, if you want to be creative and intelligent, and develop your brain, you must do everything with the awareness that everything, in some way, connects to everything else.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make an effort to collect the good features from many beautiful faces.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye encompasses the beauty of the whole world.
Leonardo da Vinci
O speculators about perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you created in the like quest? Go and take your place with the seekers after gold.
Leonardo da Vinci
O admirable necessity! O powerful action! What mind can penetrate your nature? What language can express this marvel? None, to be sure. This is where human discourse turns toward the contemplation of the divine.
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
