Quotes by Leonardo DaVinci:
“To lie is so vile, that even if it were in speaking well of godly things it would take off something from God’s grace; and Truth is so excellent, that if it praises but small things they become noble.”
“The acquisition of any knowledge is always of use to the intellect, because it may thus drive out useless things and retain the good. For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known.”
“Just as eating against one’s will is injurious to health, so studying without a liking for it spoils the memory, and it retains nothing it takes in”
“Just as iron rusts from disuse… even so does inaction spoil the intellect.”
“Love shows itself more in adversity than in prosperity; as light does, which shines most where the place is darkest.”
