More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The true meaning of Christ's teaching consists in the recognition of love as the supreme law of life, and therefore not admitting any exceptions.
Leo Tolstoy
As often happens between men who have chosen different pursuits, each, while in argument justifying the other's activity, despised it in the depth of his heart.
Leo Tolstoy
If a man does not work at necessary and good things, then he will work at unnecessary and stupid things
Leo Tolstoy
All the stories and descriptions of that time without exception peak only of the patriotism, self-sacrifice, despair, grief, and heroism of the Russians. But in reality it was not like that...The majority of the people paid no attention to the general course of events but were influenced only by their immediate personal interests.
Leo Tolstoy
I must write each day without fail, not so much for the success of the work, as in order not to get out of my routine.
Leo Tolstoy
My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time.
Leo Tolstoy
Art lifts man from his personal life into the universal life.
Leo Tolstoy
In former times the chief method of justifying the use of violence and thereby infringing the law of love was by claiming a divine right for the rulers: the Tsars, Sultans, Rajahs, Shahs and other heads of states.
Leo Tolstoy
People look like rivers very much: water is everywhere the same, but the rivers are narrow, fast, wide, pure, cold, muddy and warm. The people are the same. They have the rudiment of every human habit in them and they behave according to them. Sometimes they even do not look like themselves, but they still stay whatever they are.
Leo Tolstoy
I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormentor.
Leo Tolstoy
The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.
Leo Tolstoy
When Levin thought what he was and what he was living for, he could find no answer to the questions and was reduced to despair but when he left off questioning himself about it, it seemed as though he knew both what he was and what he was living for, acting and living resolutely and without hesitation.
Leo Tolstoy
Everybody wants to change the world, but nobody thinks about changing himself.
Leo Tolstoy
One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
Leo Tolstoy
Never did Christ utter a single word attesting to a personal resurrection and a life beyond the grave.
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
Her maternal instinct told her Natasha had too much of something, and because of this she would not be happy
Leo Tolstoy
but my life now, my whole life apart from anything that can happen to me, every minute of it is no more meaningless, as it was before, but it has the positive meaning of goodness, which I have the power to put into it.
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
If you want to be happy, try only to please God, not people.
Leo Tolstoy
