More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Honest work is much better than a mansion.
Leo Tolstoy
So he lived, not knowing and not seeing any chance of knowing what he was and for what purpose he had been placed in the word.
Leo Tolstoy
All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
Leo Tolstoy
If a man does not work at necessary and good things, then he will work at unnecessary and stupid things
Leo Tolstoy
For man to be able to live he must either not see the infinite, or have such an explanation of the meaning of life as will connect the finite with the infinite.
Leo Tolstoy
Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait. There is nothing stronger than those two: patience and time, they will do it all.
Leo Tolstoy
If you asked someone, 'Can you play the violin?' and he says, 'I don't know, I have not tried, perhaps I can,' you laugh at him. Whereas about writing, people always say: 'I don't know, I have not tried,' as though one had only to try and one would become a writer.
Leo Tolstoy
Every time I tried to express my most heartfelt desires to be morally good I met with contempt and ridicule and as soon as I would give in to vile passions I was praised and encouraged. Ambition, love of power, self-interest, lechery, pride, anger, vengeance-all of it was highly esteemed.
Leo Tolstoy
He knew she was there by the joy and terror that took possession of his heart [...] Everything was lit up by her. She was the smile that brightened everything around.
Leo Tolstoy
Upon meeting, you're judged by your clothes, upon parting you're judged by your wits.
Leo Tolstoy
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
I don't think badly of people. I like everybody, and I'm sorry for everybody.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness consists in always aspiring perfection, the pause in any level in perfection is the pause of happiness
Leo Tolstoy
He felt like a man who, after straining his eyes to peer into the remote distance, finds what he was seeking at his very feet. All his life he had been looking over the heads of those around him, while he had only to look before him without straining his eyes. p 1320
Leo Tolstoy
All men's instincts, all their impulses in life, are efforts to increase their freedom. Wealth and poverty, health and disease, culture and ignorance, labor and leisure, repletion and hunger, virtue and vice, are all terms for greater or less degree of freedom.
Leo Tolstoy
In former times the chief method of justifying the use of violence and thereby infringing the law of love was by claiming a divine right for the rulers: the Tsars, Sultans, Rajahs, Shahs and other heads of states.
Leo Tolstoy
We should show life neither as it is or as it ought to be, but only as we see it in our dreams.
Leo Tolstoy
The happiness of men consists in life. And life is in labor.
Leo Tolstoy
Vengeance is mine I will repay.
Leo Tolstoy
The ideas of the wise have been tested by centuries. Everything medium is lost and only original, deep and useful things are left.
Leo Tolstoy
