More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
If you're not enjoying your work, you should either change your attitude, or change your job.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness consists in always aspiring perfection, the pause in any level in perfection is the pause of happiness
Leo Tolstoy
One can often hear from the young people: I do not want to live according to others` mind. I can think of it myself. Why should one think of something, when it is already thought about. Take it and go farther, this is the strength of the mankind.
Leo Tolstoy
By digging into our souls, we often dig up what might better have remained there unnoticed. Alexis Alexandrovich
Leo Tolstoy
In order to correctly define art, it is necessary, first of all, to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and consider it as one of the conditions of human life. ...Reflecting on it in this way, we cannot fail to observe that art is one of the means of effective communication between people.
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
People of limited intelligence are fond of talking about these days, imagining that they have discovered and appraised the peculiarities of these days and that human nature changes with the times.
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
If so many men, so many minds, certainly so many hearts, so many kinds of love.
Leo Tolstoy
One of the most obtuse superstitions is the superstition of the scientists who say that man can exist without faith.
Leo Tolstoy
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
Read less, study less, but think more
Leo Tolstoy
Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself.
Leo Tolstoy
History would be an excellent thing if only it were true.
Leo Tolstoy
…the majority of men do not think in order to know the truth, but in order to assure themselves that the life which they lead, and which is agreeable and habitual to them, is the one which coincides with the truth.
Leo Tolstoy
Pierre looked into the sky, into the depths of the retreating, twinkling stars. And all this is mine, and all this is in me, and all this is me! thought Pierre. And all this they've caught and put in a shed and boarded it up!
Leo Tolstoy
My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time.
Leo Tolstoy
By patriotism is meant, not only spontaneous, instinctive love for one's own nation, and preference for it above all other nations, but also the belief that such love and preference are good and useful.
Leo Tolstoy
Here I am alive, and it's not my fault, so I have to try and get by as best I can without hurting anybody until death takes over.
Leo Tolstoy
Childhood candor... shall I ever find you again?
Leo Tolstoy
