Luca Pacioli quotes

Luca Pacioli was an Italian mathematician and Franciscan friar, widely regarded as the "Father of Accounting." His seminal work on double-entry bookkeeping laid the foundation for modern accounting practices. He also made important contributions to mathematics and was a collaborator of Leonardo da Vinci. Here are 4 of his quotes:

The Ancients, having taken into consideration the rigorous construction of the human body, elaborated all their works, as especially their holy temples, according to these proportions; for they found here the two principal figures without which no project is possible: the perfection of the circle, the principle of all regular bodies, and the equilateral square. (Luca Pacioli)
The quest for our origin is the sweet fruit's juice which maintains satisfaction in the minds of the philosophers. View quote
