In an age that revered ancient authorities, Leonardo da Vinci declared himself a 'disciple of experience. ' He famously stated, 'Wisdom is the daughter of experience. ' He rejected the idea that truth could be found solely in books, arguing that nature was the ultimate authority. He warned against those who cite authority without using their own reason, calling them 'reciters' rather than thinkers. Leonardo teaches us to trust our own observations and to test every theory against the hard reality of experience.
