More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
In our age the common religious perception of men is the consciousness of the brotherhood of man - we know that the well-being of man lies in the union with his fellow men. True science should indicate the various methods of applying this consciousness to life. Art should transform this perception into feeling.
Leo Tolstoy
He felt like a man who, after straining his eyes to peer into the remote distance, finds what he was seeking at his very feet. All his life he had been looking over the heads of those around him, while he had only to look before him without straining his eyes. p 1320
Leo Tolstoy
We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.
Leo Tolstoy
There can be no peace for us, only misery, and the greatest happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
No one is satisfied with his position, but every one is satisfied with his wit

Commit no act that is contrary to love.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
I must have physical exercise, or my temper'll certainly be ruined.
Leo Tolstoy
Perhaps it is even more important to know what one should not think about than what one should think about.

Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.
Leo Tolstoy
But the peasants - how do the peasants die?
Leo Tolstoy
All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.
Leo Tolstoy
When you feel the desire for power, you should stay in solitude for some time
Leo Tolstoy
Art should cause violence to be set aside and it is only art that can accomplish this.
Leo Tolstoy
Either you are so underdeveloped that you can't see all that you can do, or you won't sacrifice your ease, your vanity, or whatever it is, to do it.
Leo Tolstoy
There is only one time that is important -- NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time hat we have any power.
Leo Tolstoy
All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
For if we allow that human life is always guided by reason, we destroy the premise that life is possible at all.
Leo Tolstoy
