“Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold
weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
So we must stretch ourselves to the very limits of human possibility.”
~Leonardo da Vinci

Is it naughty of me to immediately think, “hey I should reblog that ‘cos it’s true and awesome”? It would be my first reblog, for sure. Still not sure how that works here.

Haha, not at all. If you like it enough to reblog it then definitely go for it 🙂 . You could just hijack it to though, if you want. Copy, paste, and just share it in your own post. Da Vinci’s the only one that really deserves the credit on that one anyways, so either way seems viable to me 😉 .

I like this quote a lot. I should look more into his story but not sure where to begin.

I know everyone seems to rag on it for being unreliable, but there’s always wikipedia. I’d probably by a biography though, if I ever came across one. That’s something I’d be interested in too, so maybe I ought to look into what biographies (if any) are out there about him.

The idea of reading texts written by a person who lived so long ago intrigues me definitely. The minds of those people with the social factors of those times is a recipe for excitement.
