More quotes by Leo Tolstoy

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
I imagine, joking apart, that to know love, one must make mistakes and then correct them.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The earth is the general and equal possession of all humanity and therefore cannot be the property of individuals.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The essence of all slavery consists in taking the product of another's labor by force. It is immaterial whether this force be founded upon ownership of the slave or ownership of the money that he must get to live.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I was now prepared to accept any faith so long as it did not demand a direct denial of reason, which would have been a deceit.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The greater the state, the more wrong and cruel its patriotism, and the greater is the sum of suffering upon which its power is founded.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The happiness of men consists in life. And life is in labor.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It's all God's will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
He was right in saying that the only certain happiness in life is to live for others.
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.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We imagine that when we are thrown out of our usual ruts all is lost, but it is only then that what is new and good begins. While there is life there is happiness. There is much, much before us.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
For us, with the rule of right and wrong given us by Christ, there is nothing for which we have no standard. And there is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Beautiful as seemed mama's face, it became more lovely when she smiled and seemed to enliven everything about her.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The higher a man's conception of God, the better will he know Him. And the better he knows God, the nearer will he draw to Him.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Art lifts man from his personal life into the universal life.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
All the stories and descriptions of that time without exception peak only of the patriotism, self-sacrifice, despair, grief, and heroism of the Russians. But in reality it was not like that...The majority of the people paid no attention to the general course of events but were influenced only by their immediate personal interests.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Many families remain for years in the same place, though both husband and wife are sick of it, simply because there is neither complete division nor agreement between them.
