If religion is the establishing of a relationship between man and the universe, then morality is the explanation of those activities that automatically result when a person maintains a relationship to the universe.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
People look like rivers very much: water is everywhere the same, but the rivers are narrow, fast, wide, pure, cold, muddy and warm. The people are the same. They have the rudiment of every human habit in them and they behave according to them. Sometimes they even do not look like themselves, but they still stay whatever they are.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It seems that it is impossible to live without discovering the purpose of your life. And the first thing which a person should do is to understand the meaning of life. But the majority of people who consider themselves to be educated are proud that they have reached such great height that they cease to care about the meaning of existence.

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

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Image
There can be no peace for us, only misery, and the greatest happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Great works of art are only great because they are accessible and comprehensible to everyone.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In order to correctly define art, it is necessary, first of all, to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and consider it as one of the conditions of human life. ...Reflecting on it in this way, we cannot fail to observe that art is one of the means of effective communication between people.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
By patriotism is meant, not only spontaneous, instinctive love for one's own nation, and preference for it above all other nations, but also the belief that such love and preference are good and useful.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Vegetarianism serves as the criterion by which we know that the pursuit of moral perfection on the part of humanity is genuine and sincere.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
You say: I am not free. But I have raised and lowered my arm. Everyone understands that this illogical answer is an irrefutable proof of freedom.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
And the angel said - I have learned that every man lives not through care of himself, but by love.

Which is worse? the wolf who cries before eating the lamb or the wolf who does not.
