More quotes by Leo Tolstoy

Image
All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
There was no solution, save that universal solution which life gives to all questions, even the most complex and insolvable: One must live in the needs of the day--that is, forget oneself.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
But men are now united in states that work is done why now maintain exclusive devotion to one's own state, when this produces terrible evils for all.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Three things are needed to educate the peasantry: schools, schools, and schools.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Faith is the force of life.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Division of labor is a justification for sloth.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We're asleep until we love.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
He who has a mistaken idea of life, will always have a mistaken idea of death.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The time is fast approaching when to call a man a patriot will be the deepest insult you can offer him. Patriotism now means advocating plunder in the interest of the privileged classes of the particular State system into which we have happened to be born.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
If once we admit, be it for a single hour or in a single instance, that there can be anything more important than compassion for a fellow human being, then there is no crime against man that we cannot commit with an easy conscience.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Great works of art are only great because they are accessible and comprehensible to everyone.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It is horrible! It is not the suffering and the death of the animals that is horrible, but the fact that the man without any need for so doing crushes his lofty feeling of sympathy and mercy for living creatures and does violence to himself that he may be cruel. The first element of moral life is abstinence.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Whenever my life came to a halt, the questions would arise: Why? And what next?
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Man is meant for happiness and this happiness is in him, in the satisfaction of the daily needs of his existence.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The possibility of killing one's self is a safety valve. Having it, man has no right to say life is unbearable.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Art is not a pleasure, a solace, or an amusement art is a great matter. Art is an organ of human life, transmitting man's reasonable perception into feeling.
