More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Faith is the force of life.
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
Error is the force that welds men together truth is communicated to men only by deeds of truth.
Leo Tolstoy
It is no sin to look at a nice girl.
Leo Tolstoy
Power is the relation of a given person to other persons, in which the more this person expresses opinions, theories and justifications of the collective action the less is his participation in that action.
Leo Tolstoy
No one is satisfied with his position, but every one is satisfied with his wit
Leo Tolstoy
If you asked someone, 'Can you play the violin?' and he says, 'I don't know, I have not tried, perhaps I can,' you laugh at him. Whereas about writing, people always say: 'I don't know, I have not tried,' as though one had only to try and one would become a writer.
Leo Tolstoy
There was no solution, save that universal solution which life gives to all questions, even the most complex and insolvable: One must live in the needs of the day--that is, forget oneself.
Leo Tolstoy
Many families remain for years in the same place, though both husband and wife are sick of it, simply because there is neither complete division nor agreement between them.
Leo Tolstoy
The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits.
Leo Tolstoy
One of the most obtuse superstitions is the superstition of the scientists who say that man can exist without faith.
Leo Tolstoy
The happiness of men consists in life. And life is in labor.
Leo Tolstoy
What time can be more beautiful when the one in which the finest virtues, innocent cheerfulness and indefinable longing for love constitute the sole motives of your life.
Leo Tolstoy
And Levin, a happy father and a man in perfect health, was several times so near suicide that he hid the cord, lest he be tempted to hang himself, and was afraid to go out with his gun, for fear of shooting himself. But Levin did not shoot himself, and did not hang himself he went on living.
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
Life did not stop, and one had to live.
Leo Tolstoy
Anna smiled,as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love. . .
Leo Tolstoy
Yes, there is something in me hateful, repulsive, thought Ljewin, as he came away from the Schtscherbazkijs', and walked in the direction of his brother's lodgings. And I don't get on with other people. Pride, they say. No, I have no pride. If I had any pride, I should not have put myself in such a position.
Leo Tolstoy
The subject of history is the life of peoples and mankind.
Leo Tolstoy
Art should cause violence to be set aside and it is only art that can accomplish this.
Leo Tolstoy
