Leo Tolstoy Quotes
Formerly (it Had Begun Almost From Childhood And Kept Growing Till Full Maturity), Whenever He Had Tried To Do Something That Would Be Good For Everyone, For Mankind, For Russia, For The District, For The Whole Village, He Had Noticed That Thinking About It Was Pleasant, But The Doing Itself Was Always Awkward, There Was No Full Assurance That The Thing Was Absolutely Necessary, And The Doing Itself, Which At The Start Had Seemed So Big, Kept Diminishing And Diminishing, Dwindling To Nothing; While Now, After His Marriage, When He Began To Limit Himself More And More To Living For Himself, Though He No Longer Experienced Any Joy At The Thought Of What He Was Doing, He Felt Certain That His Work Was Necessary, Saw That It Turned Out Much Better Than Before And That It Was Expanding More And More.
