Leonardo was the artist, but he also mixed his own paints. He also was a fairly good chemist and knew about pigments and human anatomy.

The people that have really made the contributions have been the thinkers and the doers. — Steve Jobs

Physicist Isador Isaac Rabi, who won a Nobel Prize for inventing a technique that permitted scientists to probe the structure of atoms and molecules in the 1930s, attributed his success to the way his mother used to greet him when he came home from school each day.

Make it your motto day and night.
Experiment.
And it will lead you to the light. — Cole Porter
