More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
... a man has to think of his soul before everything else.
Leo Tolstoy
There it is!' he thought with rapture. 'When I was already in despair, and when it seemed there would be no end- there it is! She loves me. She's confessed it.
Leo Tolstoy
A man's every action is inevitably conditioned by what surrounds him and by his own body.
Leo Tolstoy
I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.
Leo Tolstoy
There are two Gods, there is the God that people generally believe in - a God who has to serve them. This God does not exist. But the God whom people forget - the God whom we all have to serve - exists, and is the prime cause of our existence and of all that we perceive.
Leo Tolstoy
We acknowledge God only when we are conscious of His manifestation in us.
Leo Tolstoy
At that instant he knew that all his doubts, even the impossibility of believing with his reason, of which he was aware in himself, did not in the least hinder his turning to God. All of that now floated out of his soul like dust. To whom was he to turn if not to Him in whose hands he felt himself, his soul, and his love?
Leo Tolstoy
After the doctor's departure Koznyshev felt inclined to go to the river with his fishing rod. He was fond of angling, and seemed proud of being able to like such a stupid occupation.
Leo Tolstoy
Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness.
Leo Tolstoy
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
Leo Tolstoy
The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people.
Leo Tolstoy
It's all God's will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle.
Leo Tolstoy
Vengeance is mine I will repay.
Leo Tolstoy
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
Quos vilt perdere dementat' Whome the gods wish to destroy, they first drive made (Latin).
Leo Tolstoy
The best method for a given teacher is the one which is most familiar to the teacher.
Leo Tolstoy
Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.
Leo Tolstoy
The one who is happy, that's the one who is right.
Leo Tolstoy
I feel that I am entitled to my share of lightheartedness and there is nothing wrong with enjoying one's self simply, like a boy.
Leo Tolstoy
All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
