S-261 "Resist no evil"... Tolstoy reasoned a lot on these words and said, "I will follow these words even if I may be only one person on Earth to follow these words".
His writings influenced Gandhiji and he followed these words "Resist no evil except through love and non-violence"
The both may be wrong or the both may be right in their reasoning. But they did follow what they strongly believed.
