Leo Tolstoy

A man’s every action is inevitably conditioned by what surrounds him and by his own body.

Leo Tolstoy

An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person’s main task in life – becoming a better person.

Leo Tolstoy

Do not be sad about what you do not have. Instead, be happy about what you do have. If you will be sad about what you don’t have, you will not be happy about what you do have.

Leo Tolstoy

Each person’s task in life is to become an increasingly better person.

Leo Tolstoy

Effort is not a means to lead us to happiness. Effort itself is happiness.

Leo Tolstoy

Grow spiritually and help others to do so. It is the meaning of life.

Leo Tolstoy

Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.

Leo Tolstoy

Happiness is in your ability to love others.

Leo Tolstoy

Happiness is pleasure without regret.

Leo Tolstoy

If people tell you that you should live your life preparing for the future, do not believe them. Real life is found only in the present.
