Additional quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

as a well-spent day gives, joy in sleep
so a well-spent life brings, joy in dying

art is never finished, only abandoned

The human bird shall take his first flight,filling the words with amazement,all writings with his fame,and bringing eternal glory to those whose nest whence he sprang.
