Leo Tolstoy
We imagine that when we are thrown out of our usual ruts all is lost, but it is only then that what is new and good begins. While there is life there is happiness. There is much, much before us.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Art should cause violence to be set aside and it is only art that can accomplish this.
Leo Tolstoy
With friends, one is well but at home, one is better.
Leo Tolstoy
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
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
If you want to be happy, just be.
Leo Tolstoy
