I have now understood that though it seems to men that they live by care for themselves, in truth it is love alone by which they live. He who has love, is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.

More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
One can no more approach people without love than one can approach bees without care. Such is the quality of bees.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
There is no genius where there is not simplicity.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Without Greek studies there is no education.
Leo Tolstoy
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
Leo Tolstoy
And that which yesterday was the novel opinion of one man, to-day becomes the general opinion of the majority.
Leo Tolstoy
I am sure that nothing has such a decisive influence upon a man's course as his personal appearance, and not so much his appearance as his belief in its attractiveness or unattractiveness.
Leo Tolstoy
Teach French and unteach sincerity.
Leo Tolstoy
If people tell you that you should live your life preparing for the future, do not believe them. Real Life is found only in the present.
Leo Tolstoy
Everything depends on upbringing.
Leo Tolstoy
Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.
