The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Pretence about anything sometimes deceives the wisest and shrewdest man, but, however cunningly it is hidden, a child of the meanest capacity feels it and is repelled by it.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.

It's hard to love a woman and do anything.
Leo Tolstoy
