Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
When one's head is gone one doesn't weep for one's hair!
Leo Tolstoy

Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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.

Music is love in search of a voice.
Leo Tolstoy
Image

Leo Tolstoy

If Mormonism is able to endure, unmodified, until it reaches the third and fourth generation, it is destined to become the greatest power the world has ever known.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Better to know a few things which are good and necessary than many things which are useless and mediocre
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The possibility of killing one's self is a safety valve. Having it, man has no right to say life is unbearable.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
she smiled at him, and at her own fears.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The more we live by our intellect, the less we understand the meaning of life.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
The meaning of life consists in the love and service of God.

No one is satisfied with his position, but every one is satisfied with his wit
