More quotes by Leo Tolstoy

If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Honest work is much better than a mansion.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The Lord had given them the day and the Lord had given them the strength. And the day and the strength had been dedicated to labor, and the labor was its reward. Who was the labor for? What would be its fruits? These were irrelevant and idle questions.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
There is nothing more harmful to you than improving only your material, animal side of life. There is nothing more beneficial, both for you and for others, than activity directed to the improvement of your soul.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The whole trouble lies in that people think that there are conditions excluding the necessity of love in their intercourse with man, but such conditions do not exist. Things may be treated without love one may chop wood, make bricks, forge iron without love, but one can no more deal with people without love than one can handle bees without care.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I don’t count life as life without love
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there's no altering that.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Our body is a machine for living.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
To say that you can love one person all your life is just like saying that one candle will continue burning as long as you live.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
If I know the way home and am walking along it drunkenly, is it any less the right way because I am staggering from side to side!
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
Love does not exist. There exists the physical need for intercourse, and the rational need for a mate in life
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Perfection is impossible without humility. Why should I strive for perfection, if I am already good enough?
Leo Tolstoy
Image
One ought only to write when one leaves a piece of one's own flesh in the inkpot, each time one dips one's pen.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
God knows, but He's waiting
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
I was now prepared to accept any faith so long as it did not demand a direct denial of reason, which would have been a deceit.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Vegetarianism serves as the criterion by which we know that the pursuit of moral perfection on the part of humanity is genuine and sincere.
