More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
All the true heroes of history will be forgotten and all the villains will be remembered as heroes.
Leo Tolstoy
Anna smiled,as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love. . .
Leo Tolstoy
Which is worse? the wolf who cries before eating the lamb or the wolf who does not.
Leo Tolstoy
Art lifts man from his personal life into the universal life.
Leo Tolstoy
Too much polishing and you spoil things. There's a limit to the expressibility of ideas. You have a new thought, an interesting one. Then, as you try to perfect it, it ceases to be new and interesting, and loses the freshness with which it first occurred to you. You're spoiling it.
Leo Tolstoy
Violence produces only something resembling justice, but it distances people from the possibility of living justly, without violence.
Leo Tolstoy
... a man has to think of his soul before everything else.
Leo Tolstoy
In spite the mountains of books written about art, no precise definition of art has been constructed. And the reason for this is that the conception of art has been based on the conception of beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
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 soul is immortal- well then, if I shall always live, I must have lived before, lived for a whole eternity.
Leo Tolstoy
Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.
Leo Tolstoy
Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the universe--he has no other--and that instrument is reason.
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
Beautiful as seemed mama's face, it became more lovely when she smiled and seemed to enliven everything about her.
Leo Tolstoy
How interesting it would be to write the story of the experiences in this life of a man who killed himself in his previous life how he stumbles against the very demands which had offered themselves before, until he arrives at the realization that he must fulfill those demands. The deeds of the preceding life give direction to the present life.
Leo Tolstoy
People jump back and forth in pursuit of pleasures only because they see the emptiness of their lives more clearly than they do the emptiness of whichever new entertainment attracts them.
Leo Tolstoy
Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.
Leo Tolstoy
Everybody wants to change the world, but nobody thinks about changing himself.
Leo Tolstoy
God knows, but He's waiting
Leo Tolstoy
The most important of all sciences man can and must learn is the science of living so as to do the least evil and the greatest possible good.
Leo Tolstoy
