More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is a most subtle discovery in mathematical studies, for by means of lines it causes to appear distant that which is near, and large that which is small.
Leonardo da Vinci
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
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
He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.
Leonardo da Vinci
The first of all simple colours is White ... We shall set down White for the representative of light, without which no colour can be seen Yellow for the earth Green for water Blue for air Red for fire and Black for total darkness.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
Leonardo da Vinci
Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose
Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci
Painting is concerned with all the 10 attributes of sight which are: Darkness, Light, Solidity and Colour, Form and Position, Distance and Propinquity, Motion and Rest.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
Leonardo da Vinci
That painter who has no doubts will achieve little.
Leonardo da Vinci
The great man presides over all his states of consciousness with obstinate rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci
He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
O painter, take care lest the greed for gain prove a stronger incentive than renown in art, for to gain this renown is a far greater thing than is the renown of riches.
Leonardo da Vinci
To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another.
Leonardo da Vinci
First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.
Leonardo da Vinci
Those who become enamoured of the art, without having previously applied to the diligent study of the scientific part of it, may be compared to mariners who put to the sea in a ship without rudder or compass and therefore cannot be certain of arriving at the wished for port.
Leonardo da Vinci
Our life is made by the death of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
The light and heat of the universe comes from the sun, and its cold and darkness from the withdrawal of the sun.
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
