LEONARDO DA VINCI
“I obey Thee, Lord, first
for the love I, in all reason, owe Thee; secondly, because Thou can shorten or
prolong the lives of men.”
(Richter, 1883, P. 237)
"Thou, O God, sell us all
good things at the price of labour."
(Ibid., 237)
“O admirable Justice, Thou
First Mover; Thou hast not wished that any force should fail the order or
quality of its necessary effects.”
(Ibid., 237)
“The body is subject to heaven and heaven to
the Spirit.”
(Ibid.,238)
“You think that the body is
a wonderful work. In reality this is nothing compared to the soul that
inhabits in that structure...It is the work of God.”
(Ibid.,238)
“A lie is a terrible thing.
Even if it spoke great things about God it would take away from God’s grace.”
(Ibid., 242)
“The works of God are
appreciated best by other creators.”
(Richter, 1977, 387)
