Leonardo Da VinciI abhor the supreme folly of those who blame the disciples of nature in defiance of those masters who were themselves her pupils
About This Quote
John Locke said, “I abhor the supreme folly of those who blame the disciples of nature in defiance of those masters who were themselves her pupils.” He was saying that nature’s greatest creations are not perfect. They have shortcomings, just like humans. Instead of blaming nature, we should embrace her. Instead of being bitter about flaws, we should look for them and learn from them.
