"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy birthday, Leonardo.

Leonardo, La Bella Principessa, 1496


Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was born on this day in 1452.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.  Knowing is not enough; we must apply.  Being willing is not enough; we must do.  The world needs dreamers.  The world needs doers.  Most importantly, the world needs dreamers who do.
