More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The antagonism between life and conscience may be removed in two ways: by a change of life or by a change of conscience.
Leo Tolstoy
A holy spirit lives within you.
Leo Tolstoy
Too much polishing and you spoil things. There's a limit to the expressibility of ideas. You have a new thought, an interesting one. Then, as you try to perfect it, it ceases to be new and interesting, and loses the freshness with which it first occurred to you. You're spoiling it.
Leo Tolstoy
Knowledge is real knowledge only when it is acquired by the efforts of your intellect, not by memory
Leo Tolstoy
All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
If you do not know your place in the world and the meaning of your life, you should know there is something to blame and it is not the social system, or your intellect, but the way in which you have directed your intellect.
Leo Tolstoy
The key to success in life is using the good thoughts of wise people.
Leo Tolstoy
The one who is happy, that's the one who is right.
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
Which is worse? the wolf who cries before eating the lamb or the wolf who does not.
Leo Tolstoy
Regard the society of women as a necessary unpleasantness of social life, and avoid it as much as possible.
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
To know God and to live is the same thing. God is Life.
Leo Tolstoy
It is horrible! It is not the suffering and the death of the animals that is horrible, but the fact that the man without any need for so doing crushes his lofty feeling of sympathy and mercy for living creatures and does violence to himself that he may be cruel. The first element of moral life is abstinence.
Leo Tolstoy
The business of art lies just in this, -- to make that understood and felt which, in the form of an argument, might be incomprehensible and inaccessible.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Leo Tolstoy
Writing laws is easy, but governing is difficult.
Leo Tolstoy
The truth is obtained like gold, not by letting it grow bigger, but by washing off from it everything that isn't gold
Leo Tolstoy
Without Greek studies there is no education.
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
