He was a 16th century astronomer, physicists and mathematician. His contribution to modern science is invaluable. He also was quoted as saying: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Non puoi insegnare niente a un uomo. Puoi solo aiutarlo a scoprire ci\u00f2 che ha dentro di s\u00e9. (You cannot teach a man anything. You can solely help him discover it within himself.)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Tutte le verit\u00e0 sono facili da capire una volta che sono state rivelate.

He was a true Renaissance man with numerous interests. Da Vinci spent his life learning and working in fields such as architecture, science, mathematics, literature, anatomy, astronomy and many others. Not surprisingly he also said a lot of things which make you think twice. These are some of his famous quotes: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>La semplicit\u00e0 \u00e8 la suprema sofisticazione. (Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication.)<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>L&#8217;arte non \u00e8 mai finita, ma solo abbandonata.

Alighieri\u2019s goal was to make poetry accessible to any reader rather than understood only by the most educated citizens. His views on the use of vernacular inspired others and started a literary revolution. What were Alighieri\u2019s famous words?<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>I costumi e le mode degli uomini cambiano come le foglie sul ramo, alcune delle quali vanno ed altre vengono.
