More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes so with present time.
Leonardo da Vinci
Perspective is nothing more than a rational demonstration applied to the consideration of how objects in front of the eye transmit their image to it, by means of a pyramid of lines. The Pyramid is the name I apply to the lines which, starting from the surface and edges of each object, converge from a distance and meet in a single point.
Leonardo da Vinci
Of the horse I will say nothing because I know the times.
Leonardo da Vinci
Inequality is the cause of all local movements.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is a far worthier thing to read by the light of experience than to adorn oneself with the labors of others.
Leonardo da Vinci
The color of the object illuminated partakes of the color of that which illuminates it.
Leonardo da Vinci
All our knowledge originates in opinion.
Leonardo da Vinci
The fox when it sees a flock of herons or magpies or birds of that kind, suddenly flings himself on the ground with his mouth open to look as he were dead and these birds want to peck at his tongue, and he bites off their heads.
Leonardo da Vinci
Thirst will parch your tongue and your body will waste through lack of sleep ere you can describe in words that which painting instantly sets before the eye.
Leonardo da Vinci
Ask advice of him who governs himself well.
Leonardo da Vinci
Art lives from constraints and dies from freedom.
Leonardo da Vinci
Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature has placed in the front part of man, as he moves, all those parts which when struck cause him to feel pain and this is felt in the joints of the legs, the forehead and the nose, and has been so devised for the preservation of man, because if such pain were not felt in these limbs they would be destroyed by the many blows they receive.
Leonardo da Vinci
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you put on more garments, the cold cannot reach you. Similarly, increase your patience and concentration and even great injuries cannot vex your mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid studies of which the result dies with the worker.
Leonardo da Vinci
O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.
Leonardo da Vinci
Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.
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
