More quotes by 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
Teach French and unteach sincerity.
Leo Tolstoy
In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
Leo Tolstoy
And the light by which she had read the book filled with troubles, falsehoods, sorrow, and evil, flared up more brightly than ever before, lighted up for her all that had been in darkness, flickered, began to grow dim, and was quenched forever.
Leo Tolstoy
And you know, there's less charm in life when you think about death--but it's more peaceful.
Leo Tolstoy
A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.
Leo Tolstoy
If you want to be happy, just be.
Leo Tolstoy
If goodness has causes, it is not goodness if it has effects, a reward, it is not goodness either. So goodness is outside the chain of cause and effect.
Leo Tolstoy
By digging into our souls, we often dig up what might better have remained there unnoticed. Alexis Alexandrovich
Leo Tolstoy
History, that is to say, the unconscious, universal life of humanity, in the aggregate, every moment profits by the life of kings for itself, as an instrument for the accomplishment of its own ends.
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
These joys were so trifling as to be as imperceptible as grains of gold among the sand, and in moments of depression she saw nothing but the sand yet there were brighter moments when she felt nothing but joy, saw nothing but the gold.
Leo Tolstoy
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.
Leo Tolstoy
And that which yesterday was the novel opinion of one man, to-day becomes the general opinion of the majority.
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
Reason unites us, not only with our contemporaries, but with men who lived two thousand years before us, and with those who will live after us.
Leo Tolstoy
Read less, study less, but think more
Leo Tolstoy
Why should I live? Why should I do anything? Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death that awaits me does not undo and destroy?
Leo Tolstoy
No one is satisfied with his position, but every one is satisfied with his wit
Leo Tolstoy
In all human sorrow nothing gives comfort but love and faith, and that in the sight of Christ's compassion for us no sorrow is trifiling.
