More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Honest work is much better than a mansion.
Leo Tolstoy
Today, nobody sees, or wishes to see, that in our time the enslavement of the majority of men is based on money taxes, levied on land and otherwise, which are collected by government from the subjects.
Leo Tolstoy
The government in which I believe is that which is based on mere moral sanction...the real law lives in the kindness of our hearts. If our hearts are empty, no law or political reform can fill them.
Leo Tolstoy
Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
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
To sin is a human business, to justify sins is a devilish business.
Leo Tolstoy
The highest wisdom has but one science-the science of the whole-the science explaining the whole creation and man's place in it.
Leo Tolstoy
Each time of life has its own kind of love.
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 higher a man's conception of God, the better will he know Him. And the better he knows God, the nearer will he draw to Him.
Leo Tolstoy
The military world is characterized by the absence of freedom - in other words, a rigorous discipline-enforced inactivity, ignorance, cruelty, debauchery and drunkenness.
Leo Tolstoy
Before we can study the central issues of life today, we must destroy the prejudices and fallacies born of previous centuries.
Leo Tolstoy
Our body is a machine for living.
Leo Tolstoy
When one's head is gone one doesn't weep for one's hair!
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
The idea shared by many that life is a vale of tears is just as false as the idea shared by the great majority, the idea to which youth and health and riches incline you, that life is a place of entertainment.
Leo Tolstoy
Kings are the slaves of history.
Leo Tolstoy
We should show life neither as it is or as it ought to be, but only as we see it in our dreams.
Leo Tolstoy
What is important is not the length of life, but the depth of life. What is important is not to make life longer, but to take your soul out of time, as every sublime act does.
Leo Tolstoy
Smiling with pleasure, they went through their memories, not sad, old people's memories, but poetic, youthful ones, those impressions from the very distant past where dream merges with reality, and they laughed softly, rejoicing at something.
Leo Tolstoy
