Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them.
Leonardo da Vinci
First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.
Leonardo da Vinci
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every man at three years old is half his height
Leonardo da Vinci
In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
As you cannot do what you want, Want what you can do
Leonardo da Vinci
When you are alone you are all your own.
Leonardo da Vinci
The desire to know is natural to good men.
Leonardo da Vinci
The Medici made me and the Medici destroyed me.
Leonardo da Vinci
The body of the earth is of the nature of a fish... because it draws water as its breath instead of air.
Leonardo da Vinci
Of the horse I will say nothing because I know the times.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is no higher or lower knowledge, but one only, flowing out of experimentation.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself or even less in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.
Leonardo da Vinci
