Leonardo da Vinci
Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.
Leonardo da Vinci
Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor.
Leonardo da Vinci
Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
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
The discovery of a good wine is increasingly better for mankind than the discovery of a new star.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid the precepts of those thinkers whose reasoning is not confirmed by experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
The first object of the painter is to make a flat plane appear as a body in relief and projecting from that plane
