He was the first opponent of the system

He was the first to renounce copyright, was an opponent of the state system, and was excommunicated for rejecting religious authorities. He refused the Nobel Prize, hated money and took the side of the peasants. No one had ever known him like this. His name is Leo Tolstoy.

Here are 10 of his famous quotes:

1. The strength of the government rests on the ignorance of the people, and it knows this, and therefore will always fight against enlightenment. It’s time for us to understand this.

2. Everyone wants to change humanity, but no one thinks about how to change themselves.

3. Let everyone sweep in front of his own door. If everyone does this, the whole street will be clean.

4. It always seems that they love us because we are so good. But we don’t realize that they love us because those who love us are good.

5. The point is not to know a lot, but to know the most necessary of all that can be known.

6. People are often proud of the purity of their conscience only because they have a short memory.

7. A person should always be happy; if happiness ends, look where you made a mistake.

8. There are no conditions to which a person cannot get used, especially if he sees that everyone around him lives the same way.

9. One of the most amazing misconceptions is that a person’s happiness lies in doing nothing.

10. It’s easier to live without love. But without it there is no point.
