More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
The painter strives and competes with nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Practice should always be based upon a sound knowledge of theory.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make yourself a master of perspective, then acquire perfect knowledge of the proportions of men and other animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
And you who wish to represent by words the form of man and all the aspects of his membrification, relinquish that idea. For the more minutely you describe the more you will confine the mind of the reader, and the more you will keep him from the knowledge of the thing described. And so it is necessary to draw and to describe.
Leonardo da Vinci
The vivacity and brightness of colors in a landscape will never bear any comparison with a landscape in nature when it is illumined by the sun, unless the painting is placed in such a position that it will receive the same light from the sun as does the landscape.
Leonardo da Vinci
We must doubt the certainty of everything which passes through the senses, but how much more ought we to doubt things contrary to the senses, such as the existence of God and the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
Leonardo da Vinci
The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue.
Leonardo da Vinci
All our knowledge originates in opinion.
Leonardo da Vinci
An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength.
Leonardo da Vinci
Therefore, O students, study mathematics and do not build without foundations.
Leonardo da Vinci
I know very well that because I am unlettered some presumptuous people will think they have the right to criticize me, saying that I am an uncultured man. What stupid fools! Do they not know that I could reply to them as Marius did to the Roman patricians: Do those who pride themselves on the works of other men claim to challenge mine?
Leonardo da Vinci
I am never weary of being useful... In serving others I cannot do enough. No labor is sufficient to tire me.
Leonardo da Vinci
Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.
Leonardo da Vinci
If we make mistakes in our first compositions and do not know them, we may not amend them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every part is disposed to unite with the whole, that it may thereby escape from its own incompleteness.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.
Leonardo da Vinci
That painter who has no doubts will achieve little.
Leonardo da Vinci
