More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
In spite of death, he felt the need of life and love. He felt that love saved him from despair, and that this love, under the menace of despair, had become still stronger and purer. The one mystery of death, still unsolved, had scarcely passed before his eyes, when another mystery had arisen, as insoluble, urging him to love and to life.
Leo Tolstoy
If you're not enjoying your work, you should either change your attitude, or change your job.
Leo Tolstoy
There is no significant idea which cannot be explained to an intelligent twelve year old boy in fifteen minutes.
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
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
The subject of history is the life of peoples and mankind.
Leo Tolstoy
Knowledge is real knowledge only when it is acquired by the efforts of your intellect, not by memory
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
Upon meeting, you're judged by your clothes, upon parting you're judged by your wits.
Leo Tolstoy
I feel that I am entitled to my share of lightheartedness and there is nothing wrong with enjoying one's self simply, like a boy.
Leo Tolstoy
Man recognizes that he will not die, only when he recognizes that he was never born, but always has been, is, and will be.
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 have discovered nothing. I have only found out what I knew. I understand the force that in the past gave me life, and now too gives me life. I have been set free from falsity, I have found the Master.
Leo Tolstoy
God knows, but He's waiting
Leo Tolstoy
He who has love, is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.
Leo Tolstoy
It's hard to love a woman and do anything.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness is pleasure without regret
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
One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
Leo Tolstoy
In the spiritual realm nothing is indifferent: what is not useful is harmful.
Leo Tolstoy
