More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Everything depends on upbringing.
Leo Tolstoy
It seldom happens that a man changes his life through his habitual reasoning. No matter how fully he may sense the new plans and aims revealed to him by reason, he continues to plod along in old paths until his life becomes frustrating and unbearable-he finally makes the change only when his usual life can no longer be tolerated.
Leo Tolstoy
I believe that the reason of life is for each of us simply to grow in love.
Leo Tolstoy
There is no significant idea which cannot be explained to an intelligent twelve year old boy in fifteen minutes.
Leo Tolstoy
Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.
Leo Tolstoy
All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.
Leo Tolstoy
You see, if you take pains and learn in order to get a reward, the work will seem hard but when you work... if you love your work, you will find your reward in that.
Leo Tolstoy
A man's every action is inevitably conditioned by what surrounds him and by his own body.
Leo Tolstoy
The most important of all sciences man can and must learn is the science of living so as to do the least evil and the greatest possible good.
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
The happiness of men consists in life. And life is in labor.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness is in your ability to love others.
Leo Tolstoy
Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
Leo Tolstoy
All the true heroes of history will be forgotten and all the villains will be remembered as heroes.
Leo Tolstoy
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
The military world is characterized by the absence of freedom - in other words, a rigorous discipline-enforced inactivity, ignorance, cruelty, debauchery and drunkenness.
Leo Tolstoy
Kings are the slaves of history.
Leo Tolstoy
If you love me as you say you do,' she whispered, 'make it so that I am at peace.
Leo Tolstoy
Woman is generally so bad that the difference between a good and a bad woman scarcely exists.
Leo Tolstoy
Whenever my life came to a halt, the questions would arise: Why? And what next?
Leo Tolstoy
