TOLSTOY

THREE QUESTIONS – COLLECTED STORIES OF TOLSTOY

1. What was the right time for every action?
2. Who were the most necessary People?
3. What was the most important thing to do?

“Remember then : there is only one time that is important – the only time when we have any Power. The most necessary man is he with whom you are, for no man knows whether he will ever have dealings with any one else : and the most important affair is, to do him good, because for that purpose alone was man sent into his life!”



WHAT MEN LIVE BY – TOLSTOY

1. What dwells in Man?
2. What is not given to Man?
3. What men live by?


‘I have learnt that all men live not by care for themselves, but by Love.

I understood that God does not wish men to live apart, and therefore he does not reveal to them what each one needs for himself; but he wishes them to live united, and therefore reveals to each of them what is necessary for all’.
