Leo Tolstoy

Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed.

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

It’s much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.

We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.

He was afraid of defiling the love which filled his soul.

I sit on a man’s back choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that i am sorry for him and wish to lighten his load by all means possible….except by getting off his back.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. It is the funniest joke in the world.

There is nothing ever wrong with ability, ambition, achievement; but they can easily be wronged by being used to bad ends.

Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

The most closely organized groups and movements in the world are those which have been the least friendly to the people’s progress and liberty.

This ain’t my first rodeo son!

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

It’s not the time to look for excuses.

Not everything I write will be a masterpiece; I know that. It is a process selecting words to convey feelings never meant to be spoken. So maybe I’ve been searching for what’s already been said and this is the finest way I can say it. I love you, in everything I am, I love you.

There are many spokes on the wheel of life. First, we’re here to explore new possibilities.

Some life lessons don’t ever change. But how you embrace them will distinguish you from the pack.

We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.

The most you get is what you ask for.

Roaming through the jungle of ‘oohs’ and ‘ahs’, searching for a more agreeable noise, I live a life of primitivity with the mind of a child and an unquenchable thirst for sharps and flats.

There it is: it doesn’t make any difference who we are or what we are, there’s always somebody to look down on! somebody to hold in light esteem, somebody to be indifferent about.

Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what’s more than enough.
