Leo Tolstoy
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
Happiness is that you have three things: something you do, something you love, and something you aspire to.
The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.
We are asleep until we fall in love.
If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.
Boredom: the desire for desires.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
I am always with myself and it is I who am my tormentor.
The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.
As long as there are slaughterhouses there will be battlefields.
True life is lived when tiny changes occur.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator the smaller the fraction.
He who has a mistaken idea of life, will always have a mistaken idea of death.
We lost because we told ourselves we lost.
What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.
All happy families are alike, but an unhappy family is unhappy after its own fashion.
One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
There is no greatness where simplicity, goodness and truth are absent.
