Arrange Quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“And yet how simple it is: in one day, in one hour everything could be arranged at once! The chief thing is to love others like yourself, that’s the chief thing, and that’s everything; nothing else is wanted — you will find out at once how to arrange it all.” quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
