Learn Everything that is Good from Others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.
Swami VivekanandaDo not go for glass beads leaving the mine of diamonds. This life is a great chance. What, seekest thou the pleasures of the world? He is the fountain of all bliss. See for the highest, aim at that highest, and you shall reach the highest.
Swami VivekanandaHelp and not fight. Assimilation and not destruction. Harmony and Peace and not dissension.
Swami VivekanandaSay, "I can do everything ." "Even if poison of a snake is powerless if you can firmly deny it."
Swami VivekanandaIt is weakness, says the Vedanta, which is the cause of all misery in this world. Weakness is the one cause of suffering. We become miserable because we are weak. We lie, steal, kill and commit other crimes, because we are weak. We die because we are weak. Where there is nothing to weaken us, there is no death nor sorrow. We are miserable through delusion. Give up the delusion and the whole thing vanishes.
Swami Vivekananda
