Philosophy Quote by Leon Trotsky — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.”

“[Letter to his wife, Natalia Sedova]”

“An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself.”

“You don't seem mad at all,' she said.”

“It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death-- ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible to life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. One must negotiate this passage as nobly as possible, for the sake of those who are coming after us.”

“The discovery of what is true and the practice of that which is good are the two most important aims of philosophy.”

“Some of us are busy doing things; some of us are busy complaining.”

“I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings.”
