God Quote by Leo Tolstoy — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The best stories don't come from "good vs. bad" but "good vs. good.”

“Here I am...wanting to accomplish something and completely forgetting it must all end--that there is such a thing as death.”

“No one can attain to truth by himself. Only by laying stone on stone with the cooperation of all, by the millions of generations from our forefather Adam to our own times, is that temple reared which is to be a worthy dwelling place of the Great God.”

“The more mental effort he made the clearer he saw that it was undoubtedly so: that he had really forgotten and overlooked one little circumstance in life - that Death would come and end everything, so that it was useless to begin anything, and that there was no help for it, Yes it was terrible but true”

“Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life”

“We lost because we told ourselves we lost.”

“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.”

“Worthy character is best forged from a life of consistent, correct choices centered in the teachings of the Master.”

“Sometimes I even wonder if I am the only one truly existing, if the world around me is merely an intricate illusion formed by light, reflection, and perception. It could be that there are infinite universes, each branching endlessly, each holding different versions of reality.”

“The darker side of the City tried to emphasize the selfish parts of me by encouraging my sense of entitlement and my desire for personal space. But God seemed to whisper that the alternative existed: to let Him grow humility and concern for others in a way I had never experienced, to live out His peace amid whirling chaos. (p.67)”
