'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.

More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
India, which is the nursery of the great faiths of the world
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
The soul is immortal- well then, if I shall always live, I must have lived before, lived for a whole eternity.
Leo Tolstoy
Man recognizes that he will not die, only when he recognizes that he was never born, but always has been, is, and will be.
Leo Tolstoy
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.
Leo Tolstoy
The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.
Leo Tolstoy
The activity of art is... as important as the activity of language itself, and as universal.
Leo Tolstoy
Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
Leo Tolstoy
Either you are so underdeveloped that you can't see all that you can do, or you won't sacrifice your ease, your vanity, or whatever it is, to do it.
Leo Tolstoy
Life is everything. Life is God. Everything shifts and moves, and this movement is God. And while there is life, there is delight in the self-awareness of the divinity. To love life is to love God. The hardest and most blissful thing is to love this life in one's suffering, in the guiltlessness of suffering.
Leo Tolstoy
Honest work is much better than a mansion.
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
All that day she had had the feeling that she was playing in the theatre with actors better than herself and that her poor playing spoiled the whole thing.
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
Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait.
Leo Tolstoy
Then we should find some artificial inoculation against love, as with smallpox.
Leo Tolstoy
Never did Christ utter a single word attesting to a personal resurrection and a life beyond the grave.
Leo Tolstoy
Faith is the force of life.
Leo Tolstoy
I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed.
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
