Leo Tolstoy
If you asked someone, 'Can you play the violin?' and he says, 'I don't know, I have not tried, perhaps I can,' you laugh at him. Whereas about writing, people always say: 'I don't know, I have not tried,' as though one had only to try and one would become a writer.
Leo Tolstoy
India, which is the nursery of the great faiths of the world
Leo Tolstoy
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
Leo Tolstoy
Man's mind cannot grasp the causes of events in their completeness, but the desire to find the causes is implanted in man's soul.
Leo Tolstoy
I can’t think of you and myself apart. You and I are the same to me
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
With friends, one is well but at home, one is better.
