More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the universe--he has no other--and that instrument is reason.
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
Talent is the capacity to direct concentrated attention upon the subject: the gift of seeing what others have not seen.
Leo Tolstoy
In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning.
Leo Tolstoy
The happiness of men consists in life. And life is in labor.
Leo Tolstoy
If so many men, so many minds, certainly so many hearts, so many kinds of love.
Leo Tolstoy
Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed.
Leo Tolstoy
When Levin thought what he was and what he was living for, he could find no answer to the questions and was reduced to despair but when he left off questioning himself about it, it seemed as though he knew both what he was and what he was living for, acting and living resolutely and without hesitation.
Leo Tolstoy
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Leo Tolstoy
And once he had seen this, he could never again see it otherwise, just as we cannot reconstruct an illusion once it has been explained.
Leo Tolstoy
One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
Leo Tolstoy
Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget.
Leo Tolstoy
No one is satisfied with his position, but every one is satisfied with his wit
Leo Tolstoy
it is hard for anyone who is dissatisfied not to blame some one else, and especially the person nearest of all to him, for the ground of his dissatisfaction.
Leo Tolstoy
Woman is generally so bad that the difference between a good and a bad woman scarcely exists.
Leo Tolstoy
