"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." ― Leo Tolstoy Topic(s): Death More From Leo Tolstoy "The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life." "One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken." "The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." More In Death "Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance – the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen."― Thomas Carlyle "I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn’t death."― Stevie Ray Vaughan "Death’s an old joke, but each individual encounters it anew."― Ivan Turgenev
