||||||||||||
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller, and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or portion is more readily seen -- Leonardo da Vinci Quote
Obstacles cannot crush me.
Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does
not change his mind. --Leonardo da Vinci Quote
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of
visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
-- Leonardo a Vinci Quote
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. -- Leonardo da Vinci Quote
The first object of the painter is to make a flat plane appear as a body
in relief and projecting from that plane. -- Leonardo da Vinci Quote
You do ill if you praise, but
worse if you censure, what you do not understand. -- 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
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings
happy death. -- Leonardo da Vinci
Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. -- Leonardo da Vinci
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against
cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have
no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when
you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your
mind. -- Leonardo da Vinci
