More quotes by Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
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
We acknowledge God only when we are conscious of His manifestation in us.
Leo Tolstoy
I have learned what must be, and therefore have come to see the whole horror of what is.
Leo Tolstoy
He had heard that women often love plain ordinary men, but he did not believe it, because he judged by himself and he could only love beautiful mysterious exceptional women.
Leo Tolstoy
The essence of all slavery consists in taking the product of another's labor by force. It is immaterial whether this force be founded upon ownership of the slave or ownership of the money that he must get to live.
Leo Tolstoy
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
Leo Tolstoy
And all these people lived not by reason of any care they had for themselves, but by the love for them that was in other people.
Leo Tolstoy
