More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
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
Energy is based on love.
Leo Tolstoy
I believe that the reason of life is for each of us simply to grow in love.
Leo Tolstoy
In former times the chief method of justifying the use of violence and thereby infringing the law of love was by claiming a divine right for the rulers: the Tsars, Sultans, Rajahs, Shahs and other heads of states.
Leo Tolstoy
So he lived, not knowing and not seeing any chance of knowing what he was and for what purpose he had been placed in the word.
Leo Tolstoy
Go take the mother's soul, and learn three truths: Learn What dwells in man, What is not given to man , and What men live by . When thou hast learnt these things, thou shalt return to heaven.
Leo Tolstoy
Since corrupt people unite amongst themselves to constitute a force, then honest people must do the same.
Leo Tolstoy
Man is meant for happiness and this happiness is in him, in the satisfaction of the daily needs of his existence.
Leo Tolstoy
In vain do science and philosophy pose as the arbiters of the human mind, of which they are in fact only the servants. Religion has provided a conception of life, and science travels in the beaten path. Religion reveals the meaning of life, and science only applies this meaning to the course of circumstances.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness consists in always aspiring perfection, the pause in any level in perfection is the pause of happiness
Leo Tolstoy
In order to obtain and hold power, a man must love it.
Leo Tolstoy
A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.
Leo Tolstoy
A wife's a worry, a non-wife's even worse.
Leo Tolstoy
The ideas of the wise have been tested by centuries. Everything medium is lost and only original, deep and useful things are left.
Leo Tolstoy
If you want to be happy, try only to please God, not people.
Leo Tolstoy
If the thought ever comes to you that everything that you have thought about God is mistaken and that there is no God, do not be dismayed. It happens to many people. But do not think that the source of your unbelief is that there is no God.
Leo Tolstoy
But if Christianity really gives peace, and we really want peace, patriotism is a survival from barbarous times, which must not only not be evoked and educated, as we now do, but which must be eradicated by all means, by means of preaching, persuasion, contempt, and ridicule.
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
People jump back and forth in pursuit of pleasures only because they see the emptiness of their lives more clearly than they do the emptiness of whichever new entertainment attracts them.
Leo Tolstoy
