About this Quote

This quote by Leonardo da Vinci talks to the beauty and simpleness of nature. He is saying that no matter how hard humans try, they will never ever have the ability to create something as lovely, easy, and direct as nature. He is praising nature for its perfect balance of components, keeping in mind that absolutely nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous. This quote speaks to the concept that nature is best in its own method which human beings ought to aim to learn from it. It likewise speaks with the idea that people need to not try to overcomplicate things, but rather ought to strive for simplicity and balance. Nature is a fantastic instructor and human beings ought to put in the time to appreciate its charm and gain from its wisdom. By doing so, people can create creations that are just as lovely, basic, and direct as nature.
