Leo Tolstoy

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I am eager to help them, that they may share with me the inspirations of his truly Christian teaching, for I believe that Tolstoy has laid firmer grasp on the ethical principles of the Gospel than any other living man. He has striven with heroic courage and patience not only to preach the doctrine but to live the life, in the spirit of Amiel's great simple saying, Be that which you would make others.
