More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Men pray to the Almighty to relieve poverty. But poverty comes not from God's laws-it is blasphemy of the worst kind to say that. Poverty comes from man's injustice to his fellow man.
Leo Tolstoy
In order to obtain and hold power, a man must love it.
Leo Tolstoy
But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.
Leo Tolstoy
The compassionate are not rich therefore, the rich are not compassionate.
Leo Tolstoy
He could not be mistaken. There were no other eyes like those in the world. There was only one creature in the world who could concentrate for him all the brightness and meaning of life. It was she. It was Kitty.
Leo Tolstoy
For if we allow that human life is always guided by reason, we destroy the premise that life is possible at all.
Leo Tolstoy
Very often, all the activity of the human mind is directed not in revealing the truth, but in hiding the truth
Leo Tolstoy
People involve themselves in countless activities which they consider to be important, but they forget about one activity which is more important and necessary than any other, and which includes all other things: the improvement of their soul
Leo Tolstoy
My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time.
Leo Tolstoy
And all these people lived not by reason of any care they had for themselves, but by the love for them that was in other people.
Leo Tolstoy
If you want to be happy, try only to please God, not people.
Leo Tolstoy
Since corrupt people unite amongst themselves to constitute a force, then honest people must do the same.
Leo Tolstoy
I am sure that nothing has such a decisive influence upon a man's course as his personal appearance, and not so much his appearance as his belief in its attractiveness or unattractiveness.
Leo Tolstoy
I feel not only that I cannot disappear, as nothing disappears in the world, but that I will always be and have always been. I feel that, besides me, above me, spirits live, and that in this world there is truth.
Leo Tolstoy
The highest wisdom has but one science-the science of the whole-the science explaining the whole creation and man's place in it.
Leo Tolstoy
Science is meaningless because it gives no answer to our question, the only question important for us: 'What shall we do and how shall we live?'
Leo Tolstoy
There can be no peace for us, only misery, and the greatest happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Levin scowled. The humiliation of his rejection stung him to the heart, as though it were a fresh wound he had only just received. But he was at home, and at home the very walls are a support.
Leo Tolstoy
When you feel the desire for power, you should stay in solitude for some time
Leo Tolstoy
One must be cunning and wicked in this world.
Leo Tolstoy
