A holy spirit lives within you.
Leo Tolstoy
Regard the society of women as a necessary unpleasantness of social life, and avoid it as much as possible.
Leo Tolstoy
When you say, 'I can’t do that,' you're expressing yourself incorrectly. You should say, 'I couldn’t do that before.'
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

Leo Tolstoy
Just as a painter needs light in order to put the finishing touches to his picture, so I need an inner light, which I feel I never have enough of in the autumn.
Leo Tolstoy
When Levin thought what he was and what he was living for, he could find no answer to the questions and was reduced to despair but when he left off questioning himself about it, it seemed as though he knew both what he was and what he was living for, acting and living resolutely and without hesitation.
Leo Tolstoy
In Varenka, she realized that one has but to forget oneself and love others, and one will be calm, happy, and noble.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
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
All the true heroes of history will be forgotten and all the villains will be remembered as heroes.
Leo Tolstoy
My piece of bread only belongs to me when I know that everyone else has a share, and that no one starves while I eat.
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
Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.
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
But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.
Leo Tolstoy
He knew she was there by the joy and terror that took possession of his heart [...] Everything was lit up by her. She was the smile that brightened everything around.
Leo Tolstoy
The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.
Leo Tolstoy
In all human sorrow nothing gives comfort but love and faith, and that in the sight of Christ's compassion for us no sorrow is trifiling.
Leo Tolstoy
