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

“In spite of death, he felt the need of life and love. He felt that love saved him from despair, and that this love, under the menace of despair, had become still stronger and purer. The one mystery of death, still unsolved, had scarcely passed before his eyes, when another mystery had arisen, as insoluble, urging him to love and to life.”

“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”

“Man can be master of nothing while he fears death, but he who does not fear it possesses all. If there were no suffering, man would not know his limitations, would not know himself. The hardest thing is to be able in your soul to unite the meaning of all. To unite all? Pierre asked himself. "No, not to unite. Thoughts cannot be united, but to harness all these thoughts together is what we need! Yes, one must harness them, must harness them!”

“Everything ends in death, everything. Death is terrible.”

“Boredom: the desire for desires.”

“Whenever you don't know someone and you overhear their problems they always sound so trivial.”

“Anything not worth doing is worth not doing well. Think about it.”

“What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow.”

“There is only one kind of shock worse than the totally unexpected: the expected for which one has refused to prepare.”

“Time has always been the greatest ally to Truth, because Time eventually relieves and reveals all.”

“I was born handsome and I will die handsome.”
