More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
Ask advice of him who governs himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal. For it is always contemplating the beauty of its tail, which it spreads in the form of a wheel, and by its cries attracts to itself the gaze of the creatures that surround it. And this is the last vice to be conquered.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death.
Leonardo da Vinci
If we make mistakes in our first compositions and do not know them, we may not amend them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun.
Leonardo da Vinci
We may call painting the grandchild of nature.
Leonardo da Vinci
Not to anticipate is already to moan.
Leonardo da Vinci
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci
If a man has a tent made of linen of which the apertures have all been stopped up, and be it twelve bracchia across (over twenty-five feet) and twelve in depth, he will be able to throw himself down from any height without sustaining injury. [His concept of the parachute.]
Leonardo da Vinci
Why are the bones of great fishes, and oysters and corals and various other shells and sea-snails, found on the high tops of mountains that border the sea, in the same way in which they are found in the depths of the sea?
Leonardo da Vinci
The cat is nature's masterpiece.
Leonardo da Vinci
Men wrongly lament the flight of time, blaming it for being too swift they do not perceive that its passage is sufficiently long, but a good memory, which nature has given to us, causes things long past to seem present.
Leonardo da Vinci
The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.
Leonardo da Vinci
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
Leonardo da Vinci
