More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The only purpose of education is freedom the only method is experience.
Leo Tolstoy
The time is fast approaching when to call a man a patriot will be the deepest insult you can offer him. Patriotism now means advocating plunder in the interest of the privileged classes of the particular State system into which we have happened to be born.
Leo Tolstoy
I have found that a story leaves a deeper impression when it is impossible to tell which side the author is on.
Leo Tolstoy
Men need only trust in Christ's teaching and obey it, and there will be peace on earth.
Leo Tolstoy
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
Leo Tolstoy
Man by violating his own feelings becomes cruel. And how deeply seated in the human heart is the injunction not to take life.
Leo Tolstoy
Everything depends on upbringing.
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
If you want to be happy, try only to please God, not people.
Leo Tolstoy
He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.
Leo Tolstoy
Violence produces only something resembling justice, but it distances people from the possibility of living justly, without violence.
Leo Tolstoy
To destroy governmental violence, only one thing is needed: It is that people should understand that the feeling of patriotism, which alone supports that instrument of violence, is a rude, harmful, disgraceful, and bad feeling, and, above all, is immoral.
Leo Tolstoy
In Varenka, she realized that one has but to forget oneself and love others, and one will be calm, happy, and noble.
Leo Tolstoy
The magnanimity and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a calf being killed: she is so kindhearted that she can't look at blood, but enjoys eating the calf served up with sauce.
Leo Tolstoy
We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there's no altering that.
Leo Tolstoy
Until you do what you believe in, you don't know whether you believe it or not.
Leo Tolstoy
God forgive me everything!' she said, feeling the impossibility of struggling.
Leo Tolstoy
Just as a painter needs light in order to put the finishing touches to his picture, so I need an inner light, which I feel I never have enough of in the autumn.
Leo Tolstoy
Suddenly I heard the words of Christ and understood them, and life and death ceased to seem to me evil, and instead of despair I experienced happiness and the joy of life undisturbed by death.
Leo Tolstoy
'Thou shalt not kill' does not apply to murder of one's own kind only, but to all living beings and this commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai.
Leo Tolstoy
