A Quote by Leonardo da Vinci

But to me all sciences seem vain and full of error that are not born of experience, mother of all certainty, and do not terminate in an actual experience. — © Leonardo da Vinci
But to me all sciences seem vain and full of error that are not born of experience, mother of all certainty, and do not terminate in an actual experience.
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.
[I]f in other sciences we should arrive at certainty without doubt and truth without error, it behooves us to place the foundations of knowledge in mathematics, in so far as disposed through it we are able to reach certainty in other sciences and truth by the exclusion of error.
You can gain experience, if you are careful to avoid empty redundancy. Do not fall into the error of the artisan who boasts of twenty years experience in craft while in fact he has had only one year of experience–twenty times. And never resent the advantage of experience your elders have. Recall that they have paid for this experience in the coin of life, and have emptied a purse that cannot be refilled.
Experience is the universal mother of sciences.
Sciences provide an understanding of a universal experience, Arts are a universal understanding of a personal experience... they are both a part of us and a manifestation of the same thing... the arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity
The mother is really a more immediate parent than the father because one is born from the mother, and the first experience of any infant is the mother.
There are but few proverbial sayings that are not true, for they are all drawn from experience itself, which is the mother of all sciences.
Effective leaders are made, not born. They learn from trial and error, and from experience.
I believe there's no proverb but what is true; they are all so many sentences and maxims drawn from experience, the universal mother of sciences.
I don't seem to be able to learn from experience or anything useful. History doesn't help me. Precedents don't inform my experience.
Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.
Knowledge born from actual experience is the answer to why one profits; lack of it is the reason one loses
One thing I really hate is experience. Experience for me doesn't work. Everybody's talking about experience this, experience that.
I don't want to sound like a heroic woman or to seem full of myself, but I do have a core of trust that I'll figure things out and find my way. And if whatever I try is not a good experience, even that is a good experience. If something turns out lousy, it's interesting.
One of the things that I have always been interested in is the actual experience of people in their lives as opposed to what we think their experience should be.
For two minutes a day, think of one positive experience that's occurred during the past 24 hours. Bullet point each detail you can remember. It works, because the brain can't tell the difference between visualization and actual experience. So you've just doubled the most meaningful experience in your brain.
