What Leo Tolstoy actually said

  1. Leo Tolstoy Russian novelist and moral philosopher (1828 to 1910)
    Universal military service may be compared to the efforts of a man to prop up his falling house who so surrounds it and fills it with props and buttresses and planks and scaffolding that he manages to keep the house standing only by making it impossible to live in it. In the same way universal military service destroys all the benefits of the social order of life which it is employed to maintain.
