This is the first-ever English-language edition of the book Leo Tolstoy considered to be his most important contribution to humanity, the work of his life's last years. Widely read in prerevolutionary Russia, banned and forgotten under Communism; and recently rediscovered to great excitement, A Calendar of Wisdom is a day-by-day guide that illuminates the path of a life worth living with a brightness undimmed by time. Unjustly censored for nearly a century, it deserves to be placed with the few books in our history that will never cease teaching us the essence of what is important in this world.

A wise man seeks wisdom; a madman thinks that he has found it.

It is not the place we occupy which is important, but the direction in which we move.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
Your actions should be determined not by the desire of the people around you, but by the needs of all mankind.

Real goodness is always simple.

People mistakenly think that virtue lies in the knowledge of many things. What is important is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge.
