More quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
That which has no limitations, has no form.
Leonardo da Vinci
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.
Leonardo da Vinci
Nature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da Vinci
Avoid the precepts of those thinkers whose reasoning is not confirmed by experience.
Leonardo da Vinci
I have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly.
Leonardo da Vinci
Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death.
Leonardo da Vinci
The human being, creature of eyes, needs the image.
Leonardo da Vinci

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
We must doubt the certainty of everything which passes through the senses, but how much more ought we to doubt things contrary to the senses, such as the existence of God and the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Man and the animals are merely a passage and channel for food, a tomb for other animals, a haven for the dead, giving life by the death of others, a coffer full of corruption.
Leonardo da Vinci
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
Leonardo da Vinci
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
The Book of the science of Mechanics must precede the Book of useful inventions.
Leonardo da Vinci
Painting is concerned with the ten things you can see: these are darkness and brightness, substance and color, form and place, remoteness and nearness, movement and rest.
Leonardo da Vinci
I am still hopeful. A falcon, Time. But the coincidence is probably accidental.
Leonardo da Vinci
