More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
And the angel said - I have learned that every man lives not through care of himself, but by love.
Leo Tolstoy
Power is the relation of a given person to other persons, in which the more this person expresses opinions, theories and justifications of the collective action the less is his participation in that action.
Leo Tolstoy
Can it be that I have overlooked something, that there is something which I have failed to understand? Is it not possible that this state of despair is common to everyone?
Leo Tolstoy
I love her not with my mind or my imagination, but with my whole being. Loving her I feel myself to be an integral part of all God's joyous world.
Leo Tolstoy
All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.
Leo Tolstoy
Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.
Leo Tolstoy
They've got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us--there is no life.
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
When one's head is gone one doesn't weep for one's hair!
Leo Tolstoy
There can be no peace for us, only misery, and the greatest happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Mathematics is the queen of disciplines.... it will drive the nonsense out of your head!
Leo Tolstoy
The essence of any religion lies solely in the answer to the question: why do I exist, and what is my relationship to the infinite universe that surrounds me?
Leo Tolstoy
but my life now, my whole life apart from anything that can happen to me, every minute of it is no more meaningless, as it was before, but it has the positive meaning of goodness, which I have the power to put into it.
Leo Tolstoy
There is no significant idea which cannot be explained to an intelligent twelve year old boy in fifteen minutes.
Leo Tolstoy
I don't think badly of people. I like everybody, and I'm sorry for everybody.
Leo Tolstoy
Man recognizes that he will not die, only when he recognizes that he was never born, but always has been, is, and will be.
Leo Tolstoy
He had the unlucky capacity many men have of seeing and believing in the possibility of goodness and truth, but of seeing the evil and falsehood of life too clearly to take any serious part in it.
Leo Tolstoy
One ought only to write when one leaves a piece of one's own flesh in the inkpot, each time one dips one's pen.
Leo Tolstoy
When you understand that you will die to-morrow, if not to-day, and nothing will be left, then everything is so unimportant!... So one goes on living, amusing oneself with hunting, with work - anything so as not think of death
Leo Tolstoy
It is possible to live only as long as life intoxicates us once we are sober we cannot help seeing that it is all a delusion, a stupid delusion.
Leo Tolstoy
