All our knowledge originates in opinion.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Wisdom is the daughter of experience
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
We may call painting the grandchild of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
I am never weary of being useful... In serving others I cannot do enough. No labor is sufficient to tire me.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The painter who draws merely by practice and by eye, without any reason, is like a mirror which copies every thing placed in front of it without being conscious of their existence.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
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
Image
Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Here is a thing which the more it is needed the more it is rejected: and this is advice, which is unwillingly heeded by those who most need it, that is to say, by the ignorant.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
No one should ever imitate the style of another because, with regard to art, he will be called a nephew and not a child of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
He who fears dangers will not perish by them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The discovery of a good wine is increasingly better for mankind than the discovery of a new star.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
In her (nature's) inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The fame of the rich man dies with him the fame of the treasure, and not of the man who possessed it, remains.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
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?
