Faith is the force of life.
Leo Tolstoy

The law of violence is not a law, but a simple fact which can only be a law when it does not meet with protest and opposition. It is like the cold, darkness and weight, which people had to put up with until recently when warmth, illumination and leverage were discovered.
Leo Tolstoy

Christian love comes from the understanding that there is a unity of divine origins in oneself and in other people, and not only in people, but in all living things.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
'Thou shalt not kill' does not apply to murder of one's own kind only, but to all living beings and this commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
One can often hear from the young people: I do not want to live according to others` mind. I can think of it myself. Why should one think of something, when it is already thought about. Take it and go farther, this is the strength of the mankind.
Leo Tolstoy
