Leonardo da Vinci
Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter strives and competes with nature.
Leonardo da Vinci

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
Truth was always but the daughter of time.
Leonardo da Vinci
That which has no limitations, has no form.
Leonardo da Vinci
Poor is the man who desires a lot
Leonardo da Vinci
Lying on a feather mattress or quilt will not bring you renown.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are representing a white body let it be surrounded by ample space, because as white has no colour of its own, it is tinged and altered in some degree by the colour of the objects surrounding it
Leonardo da Vinci
It is ill to praise, and worse to blame, the thing which you do not understand.
Leonardo da Vinci
The sun gives spirit and life to the plants and the earth nourishes them with moisture.
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
