Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
Anger comes from helplessness, said Rousseau. How true it is! He gets angry who wants to do something beyond his powers, encounters obstacles and then gets angry. And nothing that is material is in the power of man. The only activity in which man does not encounter obstacles is the spiritual one. What I want, I do. If I don't succeed, I get angry with myself (I have more understanding with myself than with others), and the anger is less painful and especially not useless. There is only one way out, one activity that does not encounter obstacles - spiritual activity, love. Man is like an animal that struggles in a room where there is a door, and hits the door without seeing it, because the door opens inward.
