Leo Tolstoy

To be happy, we must love, and love, and love! Always love--that is the secret.

Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.

The higher the man, the more he is dependent on other people, and the less free he is.

Man's life is a constant series of choices.

Spring is the time of plans and projects.

There are no conditions to which a man cannot get accustomed, especially if he sees that all around him are living in the same way.

Nothing can make our life, or the lives of other people, more beautiful than perpetual kindness.

To be good, it is not enough to do good; you must also do it in a good way.

The highest wisdom has but one science, the science of the whole, the science of understanding God, the understanding of creation and destiny.

Without knowing what I am and why I am here, it is impossible for me to live, and I cannot know that; therefore I cannot live.

The one thing that is necessary is to overcome the evil that is in us.
