"There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see."

Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.

Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity

Additional quotes by Leonardo da Vinci

I awoke, only to see that the rest of the world is still asleep.

Creatures shall be seen on the earth who will always be fighting one another, with the greatest losses and frequent deaths on either side. There will be no bounds to their malice; by their strong limbs the vast forests of the world shall be laid low; and when they are filled with food they shall gratify their desires by dealing out death, affliction, labour, terror, and banishment to every living thing; and then from their boundless pride they will desire to rise towards heaven, but the excessive weight of their limbs will hold them down. Nothing shall remain on the earth or under the earth or in the waters that shall not be pursued, disturbed, or spoiled, and that which is in one country removed into another. And their bodies shall be made the tomb and the means of transit of all the living bodies they have slain.
O earth, why do you not open and hurl them into the deep fissures of thy vast abysses and caverns, and no longer display in the sight of heaven so cruel and horrible a monster?
