More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
This history of culture will explain to us the motives, the conditions of life, and the thought of the writer or reformer.
Leo Tolstoy
Nowhere nor in anything, except in the assertion of the Church, can we find that God or Christ founded anything like what churchmen understand by the Church.
Leo Tolstoy
Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?
Leo Tolstoy
The chief attraction of military service has consisted and will consist in this compulsory and irreproachable idleness.
Leo Tolstoy
It is no sin to look at a nice girl.
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
Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait.
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
Without Greek studies there is no education.
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
Music is love in search of a voice.
Leo Tolstoy
You will die and it will all be over. You will die and find out everything or cease asking.
Leo Tolstoy
Though the doctors treated him, let his blood, and gave him medications to drink, he nevertheless recovered.
Leo Tolstoy
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
Leo Tolstoy
If we would only testify to the truth as we see it, it would turn out that there are hundreds, thousands, even millions of other people just as we are, who see the truth as we do...and are only waiting, again as we are, for someone to proclaim it. The Kingdom of God is within you.
Leo Tolstoy
Where is there any book of the law so clear to each man as that written in his heart?
Leo Tolstoy
… for nightinggales - we know - can’t live on fairytales.
Leo Tolstoy
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
Leo Tolstoy
Just as a painter needs light in order to put the finishing touches to his picture, so I need an inner light, which I feel I never have enough of in the autumn.
Leo Tolstoy
We are all created to be miserable, and that we all know it, and all invent means of deceiving each other. And when one sees the truth, what is one to do?
Leo Tolstoy
