Science - Science (general) / Leonardo da Vinci quote | | French term or phrase: Va prendre tes leçons dans la nature | This is a Leonordo da Vinci quote, the French version of which gets lots of google hits.
The full sentence is, it seems, "Va prendre tes leçons dans la nature, c'est là qu'est notre futur", although in my context I just need the first bit.
It's given in quotation marks in my text, so I'd like to provide the standard English version (if any).
The usual searches have failed to turn up an answer. Anyone able to identify this quote and a good reference for it?
I can of course simply translate it myself as the original was not in English, but I'm hoping there's a standard version out there somewhere... |
