Leo Tolstoy

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.

I’ve always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.

When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you’d like them to be.

We are asleep until we fall in Love!

If you want to be happy, be.

The farther you look back, the farther you can look ahead.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

I think I am actually humble. I think I’m much more humble than you would understand.

There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have.

Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use.

You are writing your children’s future with your answers.
