More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves.
Leonardo da Vinci
Vows begin when hope dies.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
Leonardo da Vinci
Experience never errs it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
Leonardo da Vinci
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
The human being, creature of eyes, needs the image.
Leonardo da Vinci
Strive to preserve your health and in this you will better succeed in proportion as you keep clear of the physicians, for their drugs are a kind of alchemy concerning which there are no fewer books than there are medicines.
Leonardo da Vinci
A man was desired to rise from bed because the sun was already up. He replied: If I had as far to go and as much to do as he has, I should be up by now but having but a little way to go, I shall not get up yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
simplicity is the best sophistication
Leonardo da Vinci
Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.
Leonardo da Vinci
Given the cause nature produces the effect in the briefest manner that it can employ.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every loss which we incur leaves behind it vexation in the memory, save the greatest loss of all, that is, death, which annihilates the memory, together with life.
Leonardo da Vinci
The painter who has no doubt about his own ability will attain very little.
Leonardo da Vinci
The imagination is to the effect as the shadow to the opaque body which causes the shadow.
Leonardo da Vinci
You must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
The eye transmits its own image through the air to all the objects which face it, and also receives them on its own surface, whence the sensus communis takes them and considers them.
Leonardo da Vinci
The instant the atmosphere is illuminated it will be filled with an infinite number of images which are produced by the various bodies and colours assembled in it. And the eye is the target, a lodestone, of these images.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you find from your own experience that something is a fact and it contradicts what some authority has written down, then you must abandon the authority and base your reasoning on your own findings.
Leonardo da Vinci
Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there and what you will see later is not yet.
Leonardo da Vinci
