More quotes by Leo Tolstoy

All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the universe--he has no other--and that instrument is reason.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there's no altering that.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Woman is generally so bad that the difference between a good and a bad woman scarcely exists.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
But men are now united in states that work is done why now maintain exclusive devotion to one's own state, when this produces terrible evils for all.
