Not all of life's roads are set fast, for a man may do this or a man may do that and not even the gods know the mind of a man.
Leo Tolstoy
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
Leo Tolstoy
They've got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us--there is no life.
Leo Tolstoy
Until you do what you believe in, you don't know whether you believe it or not.
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
In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
If religion is the establishing of a relationship between man and the universe, then morality is the explanation of those activities that automatically result when a person maintains a relationship to the universe.
Leo Tolstoy
There is no genius where there is not simplicity.
Leo Tolstoy
To destroy governmental violence, only one thing is needed: It is that people should understand that the feeling of patriotism, which alone supports that instrument of violence, is a rude, harmful, disgraceful, and bad feeling, and, above all, is immoral.
Leo Tolstoy
Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal.
Leo Tolstoy
Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed.
Leo Tolstoy
Each person's task in life is to become an increasingly better person.
Leo Tolstoy
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
Leo Tolstoy
If you want to be happy, try only to please God, not people.
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
If once we admit, be it for a single hour or in a single instance, that there can be anything more important than compassion for a fellow human being, then there is no crime against man that we cannot commit with an easy conscience.
Leo Tolstoy
