Leo Tolstoy
A holy spirit lives within you.
Leo Tolstoy
…the majority of men do not think in order to know the truth, but in order to assure themselves that the life which they lead, and which is agreeable and habitual to them, is the one which coincides with the truth.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
In order to know what he is, a man must first know what the sum of this mysterious humanity is, a humanity made up of people who, like himself, do not understand what they are.
Leo Tolstoy
A Gentleman is a man who will pay his gambling debts even when he knows he has been cheated.

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time.
Leo Tolstoy
Upon meeting, you're judged by your clothes, upon parting you're judged by your wits.
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
