"You will never have a greater or..." - Quote by Leonardo Da Vinci

“Perspective is the rein and rudder of painting.”

“While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.”

“The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.”

“The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance. Tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas [enlightened heroes and heroines] - it enables you to refrain from reacting angrily to the harm inflicted on you by others. You could call this practice "inner disarmament," in that a well-developed tolerance makes you free from the compulsion to counterattack. For the same reason, we also call tolerance the "best armor," since it protects you from being conquered by hatred itself.”

“Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.”

“Everything that frees our spirit without giving us control of ourselves is ruinous.”

“The most able seems clumsy.”

“Let a man practise the profession he best knows.[Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.]”

“If you have five elements available use only four. If you have four elements use three.”
