More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
There is no genius where there is not simplicity.
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
We love people not so much for the good they've done us, as for the good we've done them.
Leo Tolstoy
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Leo Tolstoy
A holy spirit lives within you.
Leo Tolstoy
Just when the question of how to live had become clearer to him, a new insoluble problem presented itself - Death.
Leo Tolstoy
I'll tell you truly: I value my thought and work terribly, but in essence - think about it - this whole world of ours is just a bit of mildew that grew over a tiny planet. And we think we can have something great - thoughts, deeds! They're all grains of sand
Leo Tolstoy
One can no more approach people without love than one can approach bees without care. Such is the quality of bees.
Leo Tolstoy
We imagine that when we are thrown out of our usual ruts all is lost, but it is only then that what is new and good begins. While there is life there is happiness. There is much, much before us.
Leo Tolstoy
Man is meant for happiness and this happiness is in him, in the satisfaction of the daily needs of his existence.
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
A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.
Leo Tolstoy
Yes, there is something in me hateful, repulsive, thought Ljewin, as he came away from the Schtscherbazkijs', and walked in the direction of his brother's lodgings. And I don't get on with other people. Pride, they say. No, I have no pride. If I had any pride, I should not have put myself in such a position.
Leo Tolstoy
War is not courtesy but the most horrible thing in life and we ought to understand that, and not play at war. We ought to accept this terrible necessity sternly and seriously. It all lies in that: get rid of falsehood and let war be war and not a game.
Leo Tolstoy
The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.
Leo Tolstoy
Without Greek studies there is no education.
Leo Tolstoy
This is where the strength of the physician lies, be he a quack, a homeopath or an allopath. He supplies the perennial demand for comfort, the craving for sympathy that every human sufferer feels.
Leo Tolstoy
One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love.
Leo Tolstoy
Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life
Leo Tolstoy
I don’t count life as life without love
Leo Tolstoy
