More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The more we live by our intellect, the less we understand the meaning of life.
Leo Tolstoy
Every man had his personal habits, passions, and impulses toward goodness, beauty, and truth.
Leo Tolstoy
Are we not all flung into the world for no other purpose than to hate each other, and so to torture ourselves and one another?
Leo Tolstoy
Without Greek studies there is no education.
Leo Tolstoy
And that which yesterday was the novel opinion of one man, to-day becomes the general opinion of the majority.
Leo Tolstoy
At that instant he knew that all his doubts, even the impossibility of believing with his reason, of which he was aware in himself, did not in the least hinder his turning to God. All of that now floated out of his soul like dust. To whom was he to turn if not to Him in whose hands he felt himself, his soul, and his love?
Leo Tolstoy
The subject of history is the life of peoples and of humanity. To catch and pin down in words--that is, to describe directly the life, not only of humanity, but even of a single people, appears to be impossible.
Leo Tolstoy
Each time of life has its own kind of love.
Leo Tolstoy
The government in which I believe is that which is based on mere moral sanction...the real law lives in the kindness of our hearts. If our hearts are empty, no law or political reform can fill them.
Leo Tolstoy
By digging into our souls, we often dig up what might better have remained there unnoticed. Alexis Alexandrovich
Leo Tolstoy
If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
Leo Tolstoy
Each person's task in life is to become an increasingly better person.
Leo Tolstoy
I don't want to prove anything I merely want to live, to do no one harm but myself. I have the right to do that, haven't I?
Leo Tolstoy
The earth is the general and equal possession of all humanity and therefore cannot be the property of individuals.
Leo Tolstoy
War is not a polite recreation but the vilest thing in life, and we ought to understand that and not play at war.
Leo Tolstoy
People jump back and forth in pursuit of pleasures only because they see the emptiness of their lives more clearly than they do the emptiness of whichever new entertainment attracts them.
Leo Tolstoy
Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
Leo Tolstoy
Never did Christ utter a single word attesting to a personal resurrection and a life beyond the grave.
Leo Tolstoy
What is important is not the quantity of your knowledge but its quality. You can know many things without knowing the most important.
Leo Tolstoy
And whatever people might say about the time having come when young people must arrange their future for themselves, she could not believe it any more than she could believe that loaded pistols could ever be the best toys for five-year-old children.
Leo Tolstoy
