More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning.
Leo Tolstoy
In order to correctly define art, it is necessary, first of all, to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and consider it as one of the conditions of human life. ...Reflecting on it in this way, we cannot fail to observe that art is one of the means of effective communication between people.
Leo Tolstoy
Since corrupt people unite amongst themselves to constitute a force, then honest people must do the same.
Leo Tolstoy
What am I coming for? he repeated, looking straight into her eyes. You know that I have come to be where you are, he said I can't help it.
Leo Tolstoy
If he be really and seriously seeking to live a good life, the first thing from which he will abstain will always be the use of animal food, because ...its use is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an act which is contrary to the moral feeling - killing.
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
I ask one thing only: I ask for the right to hope, to suffer as I do. But if even that cannot be, command me to disappear, and I disappear. You shall not see me if my presence is distasteful to you.
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
It's hard to love a woman and do anything.
Leo Tolstoy
A Gentleman is a man who will pay his gambling debts even when he knows he has been cheated.
Leo Tolstoy
And the angel said - I have learned that every man lives not through care of himself, but by love.
Leo Tolstoy
As we live through thousands of dreams in our present life, so is our present life only one of many thousands of such lives which we enter from the other more real life and then return after death. Our life is but one of the dreams of that more real life, and so it is endlessly, until the very last one, the very real the life of God.
Leo Tolstoy
Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life
Leo Tolstoy
If a man does not work at necessary and good things, then he will work at unnecessary and stupid things
Leo Tolstoy
To know God and to live is the same thing. God is Life.
Leo Tolstoy
No matter when, at whatever moment, if she were asked what she was thinking about she could reply quite correctly - one thing, her happiness and her unhappiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Can it be that I have overlooked something, that there is something which I have failed to understand? Is it not possible that this state of despair is common to everyone?
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
Go take the mother's soul, and learn three truths: Learn What dwells in man, What is not given to man , and What men live by . When thou hast learnt these things, thou shalt return to heaven.
Leo Tolstoy
Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live.
Leo Tolstoy
