Leo Tolstoy

All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

A political party has never accomplished anything for humanity. Individuals and geniuses have been the pioneers of every reform and every progress

The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

Everyone thinks about changing the world, but no one thinks about changing himself.

There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.

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

The strongest of all warriors are these two - Time and Patience.
