Top 5 quotes from Leonardo da Vinci
"Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been, and there you long to return."
"As every divided kingdom falls, so every mind divided between many studies confounds and saps itself."
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
"Anyone who invokes authors in discussion is not using his intelligence but his memory."
"As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death."
Top 5 quotes from Miscellaneous
"Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities."
"Everything in the world may be endured except continued prosperity."
"Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only."
"Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention."
"My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint."
