More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The improvement of life was only accomplished to the extent to which it was based on a change of consciousness, that is, to the extent to which the law of violence was replaced in men's consciousness by the law of love.
Leo Tolstoy
It is no sin to look at a nice girl.
Leo Tolstoy
In order to know what he is, a man must first know what the sum of this mysterious humanity is, a humanity made up of people who, like himself, do not understand what they are.
Leo Tolstoy
This is where the strength of the physician lies, be he a quack, a homeopath or an allopath. He supplies the perennial demand for comfort, the craving for sympathy that every human sufferer feels.
Leo Tolstoy
If once we admit, be it for a single hour or in a single instance, that there can be anything more important than compassion for a fellow human being, then there is no crime against man that we cannot commit with an easy conscience.
Leo Tolstoy
Science is meaningless because it gives no answer to our question, the only question important for us: 'What shall we do and how shall we live?'
Leo Tolstoy
There is one evident, indubitable manifestation of the Divinity, and that is the laws of right which are made known to the world through Revelation.
Leo Tolstoy
Though the doctors treated him, let his blood, and gave him medications to drink, he nevertheless recovered.
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
In order to obtain and hold power, a man must love it.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is not a pleasure, a solace, or an amusement art is a great matter. Art is an organ of human life, transmitting man's reasonable perception into feeling.
Leo Tolstoy
The essence of any religion lies solely in the answer to the question: why do I exist, and what is my relationship to the infinite universe that surrounds me?
Leo Tolstoy
India, which is the nursery of the great faiths of the world
Leo Tolstoy
One must be cunning and wicked in this world.
Leo Tolstoy
I don't think badly of people. I like everybody, and I'm sorry for everybody.
Leo Tolstoy
I have discovered nothing new I have only perceived what I already knew.
Leo Tolstoy
Pierre looked into the sky, into the depths of the retreating, twinkling stars. And all this is mine, and all this is in me, and all this is me! thought Pierre. And all this they've caught and put in a shed and boarded it up!
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness is pleasure without regret
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 kinder and more intelligent a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people. Kindness enriches our life with kindness mysterious things become clear, difficult things become easy and dull things become cheerful.
