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.

More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
Leo Tolstoy
For man to be able to live he must either not see the infinite, or have such an explanation of the meaning of life as will connect the finite with the infinite.
Leo Tolstoy
To say that you can love one person all your life is just like saying that one candle will continue burning as long as you live.
Leo Tolstoy
it is hard for anyone who is dissatisfied not to blame some one else, and especially the person nearest of all to him, for the ground of his dissatisfaction.
Leo Tolstoy
There are always so many conjectures as to the issue of any event that, whatever the outcome, there will always be people to say: 'I said then that it would be so'
Leo Tolstoy
The subject of history is the life of peoples and mankind.
Leo Tolstoy
Love does not exist. There exists the physical need for intercourse, and the rational need for a mate in life
Leo Tolstoy
I feel not only that I cannot disappear, as nothing disappears in the world, but that I will always be and have always been. I feel that, besides me, above me, spirits live, and that in this world there is truth.
Leo Tolstoy
I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.
Leo Tolstoy
But the peasants - how do the peasants die?
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
Many families remain for years in the same place, though both husband and wife are sick of it, simply because there is neither complete division nor agreement between them.
Leo Tolstoy
the same question arose in every soul: For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?... p982
Leo Tolstoy
When you understand that you will die to-morrow, if not to-day, and nothing will be left, then everything is so unimportant!... So one goes on living, amusing oneself with hunting, with work - anything so as not think of death
Leo Tolstoy
Men need only trust in Christ's teaching and obey it, and there will be peace on earth.
Leo Tolstoy
In spite of death, he felt the need of life and love. He felt that love saved him from despair, and that this love, under the menace of despair, had become still stronger and purer. The one mystery of death, still unsolved, had scarcely passed before his eyes, when another mystery had arisen, as insoluble, urging him to love and to life.
Leo Tolstoy
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
Leo Tolstoy
He felt like a man who, after straining his eyes to peer into the remote distance, finds what he was seeking at his very feet. All his life he had been looking over the heads of those around him, while he had only to look before him without straining his eyes. p 1320
Leo Tolstoy
A holy spirit lives within you.
Leo Tolstoy
The chief attraction of military service has consisted and will consist in this compulsory and irreproachable idleness.
Leo Tolstoy
