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

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”

“My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfilment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied my desire or not, nothing would come of it. Had a fairy come and offered to fulfil my desires I should not have known what to ask. If in moments of intoxication I felt something which, though not a wish, was a habit left by former wishes, in sober moments I knew this to be a delusion and that there was really nothing to wish for. I could not even wish to know the truth, for I guess of what it consisted. The truth was that life is meaningless.”

“Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.”

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

“We should be able to refuse enchanting proposals and opportunities, if they contradict God’s principles”

“I testify that He is utterly incomparable in what He is, what He knows, what He has accomplished and what He has experienced. Yet, movingly, He calls us His Friends”

“And fragile is thy tenure of this world”

“If the Almighty directs our steps, we've no need to look back over our shoulders.”

“Others can't always define your true identity. They see what they 'want' to see but beyond your mess, God sees the beauty He created and still thinks it's good!”

“My arms are too short to box with God.”
