It is an irrational claim to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ and at the same time to hold that the greater part of his teachings have no application at the present time. If you say that the reason why the powers do not follow them that believe (as Christ said they would) is because you have not faith enough and are not pure enough-that will be all right. But to say that they have no application at the present time is to be ridiculous.
Swami VivekanandaLearn Everything that is Good from Others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.
Swami VivekanandaMind you, there is no value in learning. You are all mistaken in learning. The only value of knowledge is in the strengthening, the disciplining, of the mind.
Swami VivekanandaThe Older I grow, the more everything seems to me to lie in manliness. This is my new gospel
Swami Vivekananda
