Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave.

More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Religion reveals the meaning of life, and science only applies this meaning to the course of circumstances.
Leo Tolstoy
If you want to be happy, try only to please God, not people.
Leo Tolstoy
The true office of any faith is to give life a meaning which death cannot destroy.
Leo Tolstoy
Stepan Arkadyevitch had not chosen his political opinions or his views these political opinions and views had come to him of themselves, just as he did not choose the shapes of his hat and coat, but simply took those that were being worn.
Leo Tolstoy
I have discovered nothing. I have only found out what I knew. I understand the force that in the past gave me life, and now too gives me life. I have been set free from falsity, I have found the Master.
Leo Tolstoy
I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed.
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
Not all of life's roads are set fast, for a man may do this or a man may do that and not even the gods know the mind of a man.
Leo Tolstoy
Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
From the self-confidence with which he spoke no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid.
Leo Tolstoy
Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
Leo Tolstoy
If you no longer believe in the God in whom you believed in before, this comes from the fact that there was something wrong with your belief, and you must strive to understand better that which you call God.
Leo Tolstoy
Music is love in search of a voice.
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
If a man does not work at necessary and good things, then he will work at unnecessary and stupid things
Leo Tolstoy
Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
Leo Tolstoy
The soul is immortal- well then, if I shall always live, I must have lived before, lived for a whole eternity.
Leo Tolstoy
And so the liberal tendency became a habit with Stepan Arkadyich, and he liked his newspaper, as he liked a cigar after dinner, for the slight haze it produced in his head.
Leo Tolstoy
At that instant he knew that all his doubts, even the impossibility of believing with his reason, of which he was aware in himself, did not in the least hinder his turning to God. All of that now floated out of his soul like dust. To whom was he to turn if not to Him in whose hands he felt himself, his soul, and his love?
Leo Tolstoy
Here's my advice to you: don't marry until you can tell yourself that you've done all you could, and until you've stopped loving the women you've chosen, until you see her clearly, otherwise you'll be cruelly and irremediably mistaken. Marry when you're old and good for nothing...Otherwise all that's good and lofty in you will be lost.
Leo Tolstoy
