More quotes by Leo Tolstoy

Image
And so the liberal tendency became a habit with Stepan Arkadyich, and he liked his newspaper, as he liked a cigar after dinner, for the slight haze it produced in his head.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I am sure that nothing has such a decisive influence upon a man's course as his personal appearance, and not so much his appearance as his belief in its attractiveness or unattractiveness.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Christianity, with its doctrine of humility, of forgiveness, of love, is incompatible with the state, with its haughtiness, its violence, its punishment, its wars
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Until you do what you believe in, you don't know whether you believe it or not.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
But I'm glad you'll see me as I am. Above all, I wouldn't want people to think that I want to prove anything. I don't want to prove anything, I just want to live to cause no evil to anyone but myself. I have that right, haven't I?
Leo Tolstoy

The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.
Leo Tolstoy

Love those you hate you.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
For us, with the rule of right and wrong given us by Christ, there is nothing for which we have no standard. And there is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It is very difficult to tell the truth.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
A human can be healthy without killing animals for food.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Art is not a pleasure, a solace, or an amusement art is great matter.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Life did not stop, and one had to live.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In our age the common religious perception of men is the consciousness of the brotherhood of man - we know that the well-being of man lies in the union with his fellow men. True science should indicate the various methods of applying this consciousness to life. Art should transform this perception into feeling.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
They ought to find out how to vaccinate for love, like smallpox.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I have discovered nothing new I have only perceived what I already knew.
