Leo Tolstoy
From the self-confidence with which he spoke no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid.
Leo Tolstoy
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
There is no genius where there is not simplicity.
Leo Tolstoy
The ideas of the wise have been tested by centuries. Everything medium is lost and only original, deep and useful things are left.
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
Three things are needed to educate the peasantry: schools, schools, and schools.
