"To me it seems that those sciences are vain and full of error which are not born of experience, mother of all certainty, first hand experience which in its origins, or means, or end has passed through one of the five senses."
~ Leonardo da Vinci, The Archetype of Human Potential

According to Gelb, da Vinci liked to refer to himself as uomo senza lettere (“man without letters”) and discepolo della esperienza (“disciple of experience”). (He didn’t have a Ph.D., either. :))
Some More Cool da Vinci Thoughts:
“Obstacles do not bend me.”
“Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor.”
“The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.”
“One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.”
“For in truth great love is born of great knowledge of the thing loved.”
