"We gather strength from the wisdom of those from the past. Let us be inspired by the messages left close to 500 years ago." KS

- Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519)

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.

Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen, even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.

Obstacles cannot crush me; every obstacle yields to stern resolve.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.

A well-spent day brings happy sleep.

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

Life well spent is long.
