More quotes by Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Love those you hate you.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
A new conception of life cannot be imposed on men it can only be freely assimilated. And it can only be freely assimilated in two ways: one spiritual and internal, the other experimental and external.
Leo Tolstoy
Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.
Leo Tolstoy
I don't want to prove anything I merely want to live, to do no one harm but myself. I have the right to do that, haven't I?
Leo Tolstoy
If once we admit, be it for a single hour or in a single instance, that there can be anything more important than compassion for a fellow human being, then there is no crime against man that we cannot commit with an easy conscience.
Leo Tolstoy
With friends, one is well but at home, one is better.
Leo Tolstoy
God forgive me everything!' she said, feeling the impossibility of struggling.
