More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.
Leo Tolstoy
If every man could act as he chose, the whole of history would be a tissue of disconnected accidents.
Leo Tolstoy
The idea shared by many that life is a vale of tears is just as false as the idea shared by the great majority, the idea to which youth and health and riches incline you, that life is a place of entertainment.
Leo Tolstoy
I believe that the reason of life is for each of us simply to grow in love.
Leo Tolstoy
... a man has to think of his soul before everything else.
Leo Tolstoy
Some mathematician said that pleasure lies not in discovering the truth but in searching for it.
Leo Tolstoy
As often happens between men who have chosen different pursuits, each, while in argument justifying the other's activity, despised it in the depth of his heart.
Leo Tolstoy
Then we should find some artificial inoculation against love, as with smallpox.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Honest work is much better than a mansion.
Leo Tolstoy
In spite the mountains of books written about art, no precise definition of art has been constructed. And the reason for this is that the conception of art has been based on the conception of beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
Life is everything. Life is God. Everything shifts and moves, and this movement is God. And while there is life, there is delight in the self-awareness of the divinity. To love life is to love God. The hardest and most blissful thing is to love this life in one's suffering, in the guiltlessness of suffering.
Leo Tolstoy
The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity by contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God, which can only be done by the recognition and profession of the truth by every man.
Leo Tolstoy
But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.
Leo Tolstoy
Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal.
Leo Tolstoy
And Levin, a happy father and a man in perfect health, was several times so near suicide that he hid the cord, lest he be tempted to hang himself, and was afraid to go out with his gun, for fear of shooting himself. But Levin did not shoot himself, and did not hang himself he went on living.
Leo Tolstoy
In our age the common religious perception of men is the consciousness of the brotherhood of man - we know that the well-being of man lies in the union with his fellow men. True science should indicate the various methods of applying this consciousness to life. Art should transform this perception into feeling.
Leo Tolstoy
Life is fragile and absurd.
Leo Tolstoy
Perfection is impossible without humility. Why should I strive for perfection, if I am already good enough?
Leo Tolstoy
One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
Leo Tolstoy
