A likely source, not certain. Deontology; or, The Science of Morality, ed. John Bowring, vol. II (London, 1834), ch. V 'Positive Efficient Benevolence', Vol. II, p. 295.
Probable source. Bentham's 'a man becomes rich in his own stock of pleasures, in proportion to the amount he distributes to others' carries the same thought; pleasures become «счастие» (happiness) and 'becomes rich' becomes 'increases'. Tolstoy did not take it from Bentham: the Jubilee commentary to vol. 40 says the Bentham of Thoughts of Wise Men (1903, September 3, the same sentence with «в которой») came from the «Иллюстрированный настольный календарь т-ва «Просвещение» на 1902 год», not seen. The calendar's own source was not found, so the wording may be the calendar's.
5. В суете мира и среди возбуждения соблазнов некогда искать средств противодействия нашим желаниям.
Установи свои цели тогда, когда ты один и отсутствуют соблазны. Только тогда ты будешь в силе бороться с искушающими тебя соблазнами.
5. In the bustle of the world and amid the excitement of temptations there is no time to seek means of resisting our desires.
Set your aims when you are alone and temptations are absent. Only then will you have the strength to fight the temptations that tempt you.
From Deontology, or the Science of Morality · close to the original (more).
What Tolstoy read · Stanton Coit, The Message of Man… the temptations are present, we shall find the motives at hand for resisting them.
Source text: archive.orgBentham’s own wordsIt is not amidst the hurly-burly of exciting temptations that we can safely look around us for motives to check their promptings.
Let the rules be gathered up, let the motives be fixed within us, while the temptations are absent, and it is thus, and thus only, that when the temptations are present, we shall find the arguments at hand for resisting them.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Deontology, or the Science of Morality (ed. Bowring, 1834), vol. ii, ch. i, vol. ii, ch. i, p. 29; Coit, The Message of Man, vv. 5-6 of the chapter after 'Be not led into temptation' sequence.
Faithful, probably via Coit, who has 'motives at hand' for Bentham's 'arguments at hand'. Bentham's words read: 'It is not amidst the hurly-burly of exciting temptations that we can safely look around us for motives to check their promptings. Let the rules be gathered up, let the motives be fixed within us, while the temptations are absent, and it is thus, and thus only, that when the temptations are present, we shall find the arguments at hand for resisting them.'
