MADRID, 15 (EUROPA PRESS)
This April 15 marks the 572nd anniversary of the birth, in 1452, of the Florentine polymath Leonardo Da Vinci. He is probably the most multi-discipline talented person who has ever lived.
Leonardo is considered one of the greatest painters of all time. As an engineer and inventor, Leonardo developed ideas far ahead of his time, such as the helicopter, the battle tank, the submarine and the automobile. Very few of his projects were built since most were not feasible during that time. He also cultivated Literature, Paleontology, Sculpture, Music and Urbanism.
In his excellent career, this genius, symbol of the Renaissance man, left countless quotes that summarize his vision of the world. Here is a selection of ten:
“Our biggest nonsense can be very wise”.
“The most useful science is that whose fruit is the most communicable.”
“Men of genius start great works, hard-working men finish them.”
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
“He who does not punish evil, orders it to be done.”
“The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.”
“Just as iron rusts from lack of use, so inactivity destroys the intellect.”
“The wisdom is the daughter of the experience”.
“Painting is silent poetry; poetry is blind painting.”
“Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.”
