Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
If we seek the good for ourselves, for our bodily "I", we will not find it. Instead of good we will find trouble, evil, but our mistakes, through their various consequences, lead to the good of other people in future generations. So the life of all men is always the pursuit of good and the attainment of it; only in the case of a false life is the pursuit of good for other people, for everyone but ourselves. If we lead a righteous life, we also achieve good for ourselves. If we seek God, we find good. If we seek the true good, we find God. Love is only the desire for good. The main theme of everything that exists is good. And that is why it is more correct to say that God is good, than that God is love.
