More quotes by Leo Tolstoy

Image
The one who is happy, that's the one who is right.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. A handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness. She says and does horrid things, and you see only charm. And if a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
To love life is to love God. Harder and more blessed than all else is to love this life in one's sufferings, in undeserved sufferings.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
You consider war to be inevitable? Very good. Let everyone who advocates war be enrolled in a special regiment of advance-guards, for the front of every storm, of every attack, to lead them all!
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
I'll tell you truly: I value my thought and work terribly, but in essence - think about it - this whole world of ours is just a bit of mildew that grew over a tiny planet. And we think we can have something great - thoughts, deeds! They're all grains of sand
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Better to know a few things which are good and necessary than many things which are useless and mediocre
Leo Tolstoy
Image
There can be only one permanent revolution - a moral one the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
The happiness of men consists in life. And life is in labor.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It is horrible! It is not the suffering and the death of the animals that is horrible, but the fact that the man without any need for so doing crushes his lofty feeling of sympathy and mercy for living creatures and does violence to himself that he may be cruel. The first element of moral life is abstinence.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life
Leo Tolstoy
Image
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
Image
Childhood candor... shall I ever find you again?
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Music is love in search of a voice.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
It is very difficult to tell the truth.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
No matter when, at whatever moment, if she were asked what she was thinking about she could reply quite correctly - one thing, her happiness and her unhappiness.
