More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Pretence about anything sometimes deceives the wisest and shrewdest man, but, however cunningly it is hidden, a child of the meanest capacity feels it and is repelled by it.
Leo Tolstoy
Woman is generally so bad that the difference between a good and a bad woman scarcely exists.
Leo Tolstoy
I now understand that my welfare is only possible if I acknowledge my unity with all the people of the world without exception.
Leo Tolstoy
After the doctor's departure Koznyshev felt inclined to go to the river with his fishing rod. He was fond of angling, and seemed proud of being able to like such a stupid occupation.
Leo Tolstoy
He felt like a man who, after straining his eyes to peer into the remote distance, finds what he was seeking at his very feet. All his life he had been looking over the heads of those around him, while he had only to look before him without straining his eyes. p 1320
Leo Tolstoy
She was in that highly-wrought state when the reasoning powers act with great rapidity: the state a man is in before a battle or a struggle, in danger, and at the decisive moments of life - those moments when a man shows once and for all what he is worth, that his past was not lived in vain but was a preparation for these moments.
Leo Tolstoy
I have found that a story leaves a deeper impression when it is impossible to tell which side the author is on.
Leo Tolstoy
The improvement of life was only accomplished to the extent to which it was based on a change of consciousness, that is, to the extent to which the law of violence was replaced in men's consciousness by the law of love.
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
Everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait. There is nothing stronger than those two: patience and time, they will do it all.
Leo Tolstoy
A man's every action is inevitably conditioned by what surrounds him and by his own body.
Leo Tolstoy
The subject of history is the life of peoples and of humanity. To catch and pin down in words--that is, to describe directly the life, not only of humanity, but even of a single people, appears to be impossible.
Leo Tolstoy
So he lived, not knowing and not seeing any chance of knowing what he was and for what purpose he had been placed in the word.
Leo Tolstoy
To sin is a human business, to justify sins is a devilish business.
Leo Tolstoy
Men are so accustomed to maintaining external order by violence that they cannot conceive of life being possible without violence.
Leo Tolstoy
From the self-confidence with which he spoke no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid.
Leo Tolstoy
And the light by which she had read the book filled with troubles, falsehoods, sorrow, and evil, flared up more brightly than ever before, lighted up for her all that had been in darkness, flickered, began to grow dim, and was quenched forever.
Leo Tolstoy
He looked at her as a man looks at a faded flower he has gathered , with difficulty recognizing the beauty for which he picked and ruined it.
Leo Tolstoy
The key to success in life is using the good thoughts of wise people.
Leo Tolstoy
For if we allow that human life is always guided by reason, we destroy the premise that life is possible at all.
Leo Tolstoy
