More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.
Leo Tolstoy
The true office of any faith is to give life a meaning which death cannot destroy.
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
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.
Leo Tolstoy
The highest wisdom has but one science-the science of the whole-the science explaining the whole creation and man's place in it.
Leo Tolstoy
The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow- witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.
Leo Tolstoy
All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.
Leo Tolstoy
If Mormonism is able to endure, unmodified, until it reaches the third and fourth generation, it is destined to become the greatest power the world has ever known.
Leo Tolstoy
It is not beauty that endears, it's love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness is in your ability to love others.
Leo Tolstoy
Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?
Leo Tolstoy
The Lord had given them the day and the Lord had given them the strength. And the day and the strength had been dedicated to labor, and the labor was its reward. Who was the labor for? What would be its fruits? These were irrelevant and idle questions.
Leo Tolstoy
In infinite time, in infinite matter, in infinite space, is formed a bubble organism, and that bubble lasts a while and bursts, and that bubble is Me.
Leo Tolstoy
Where there is love, there is God also.
Leo Tolstoy
One can no more approach people without love than one can approach bees without care. Such is the quality of bees.
Leo Tolstoy
One of the most obtuse superstitions is the superstition of the scientists who say that man can exist without faith.
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
it's much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.
Leo Tolstoy
Every reform by violence is to be deprecated, because it does little to correct the evil while men remain as they are, and because wisdom has no need of violence.
Leo Tolstoy
Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
Leo Tolstoy
