More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Let us forgive each other - only then will we live in peace.
Leo Tolstoy
A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.
Leo Tolstoy
There can be only one permanent revolution- a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man.
Leo Tolstoy
The more we live by our intellect, the less we understand the meaning of life.
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
And for him, who lived in a certain circle, and who required some mental activity such as usually develops with maturity, having views was as necessary as having a hat.
Leo Tolstoy
Mathematics is the queen of disciplines.... it will drive the nonsense out of your head!
Leo Tolstoy
In vain do science and philosophy pose as the arbiters of the human mind, of which they are in fact only the servants. Religion has provided a conception of life, and science travels in the beaten path. Religion reveals the meaning of life, and science only applies this meaning to the course of circumstances.
Leo Tolstoy
It seldom happens that a man changes his life through his habitual reasoning. No matter how fully he may sense the new plans and aims revealed to him by reason, he continues to plod along in old paths until his life becomes frustrating and unbearable-he finally makes the change only when his usual life can no longer be tolerated.
Leo Tolstoy
Faith is the force of life.
Leo Tolstoy
History would be an excellent thing if only it were true.
Leo Tolstoy
Patriotism is the principle that will justify the training of wholesale murderers.
Leo Tolstoy
Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.
Leo Tolstoy
I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.
Leo Tolstoy
If the thought ever comes to you that everything that you have thought about God is mistaken and that there is no God, do not be dismayed. It happens to many people. But do not think that the source of your unbelief is that there is no God.
Leo Tolstoy
Christianity, with its doctrine of humility, of forgiveness, of love, is incompatible with the state, with its haughtiness, its violence, its punishment, its wars
Leo Tolstoy
He had heard that women often love plain ordinary men, but he did not believe it, because he judged by himself and he could only love beautiful mysterious exceptional women.
Leo Tolstoy
When you say, 'I can’t do that,' you're expressing yourself incorrectly. You should say, 'I couldn’t do that before.'
Leo Tolstoy
These joys were so trifling as to be as imperceptible as grains of gold among the sand, and in moments of depression she saw nothing but the sand yet there were brighter moments when she felt nothing but joy, saw nothing but the gold.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings, and also experience them.
Leo Tolstoy
