More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
It's hard to love a woman and do anything.
Leo Tolstoy
Eating meat is a leftover of the greatest brutality [killing] the transition to vegetarianism is the first and most natural consequence of enlightenment.
Leo Tolstoy
The best method for a given teacher is the one which is most familiar to the teacher.
Leo Tolstoy
For if we allow that human life is always guided by reason, we destroy the premise that life is possible at all.
Leo Tolstoy
At that instant he knew that all his doubts, even the impossibility of believing with his reason, of which he was aware in himself, did not in the least hinder his turning to God. All of that now floated out of his soul like dust. To whom was he to turn if not to Him in whose hands he felt himself, his soul, and his love?
Leo Tolstoy
Energy is based on love.
Leo Tolstoy
In the spiritual realm nothing is indifferent: what is not useful is harmful.
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
If you asked someone, 'Can you play the violin?' and he says, 'I don't know, I have not tried, perhaps I can,' you laugh at him. Whereas about writing, people always say: 'I don't know, I have not tried,' as though one had only to try and one would become a writer.
Leo Tolstoy
The true office of any faith is to give life a meaning which death cannot destroy.
Leo Tolstoy
There are always so many conjectures as to the issue of any event that, whatever the outcome, there will always be people to say: 'I said then that it would be so'
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
And whatever people might say about the time having come when young people must arrange their future for themselves, she could not believe it any more than she could believe that loaded pistols could ever be the best toys for five-year-old children.
Leo Tolstoy
Love those you hate you.
Leo Tolstoy
Why should I live? Why should I do anything? Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death that awaits me does not undo and destroy?
Leo Tolstoy
There is something in the human spirit that will survive and prevail, there is a tiny and brilliant light burning in the heart of man that will not go out no matter how dark the world becomes.
Leo Tolstoy
The magnanimity and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a calf being killed: she is so kindhearted that she can't look at blood, but enjoys eating the calf served up with sauce.
Leo Tolstoy
For man to be able to live he must either not see the infinite, or have such an explanation of the meaning of life as will connect the finite with the infinite.
Leo Tolstoy
Which is worse? the wolf who cries before eating the lamb or the wolf who does not.
Leo Tolstoy
Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness.
Leo Tolstoy
