Top 5 quotes from Leonardo da Vinci

"Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory."
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
"Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will be powerless to vex your mind."
"Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind."
