Buddha and Christ were second-rate heroes. The greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. They put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools or systems in their name. They never create any stir but just melt down in love.
Swami VivekanandaThe Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.
Swami VivekanandaGod is always God, but the views which people and nations may take of him vary. No higher view is known than that of love.
Swami VivekanandaLet the churches preach doctrines, theories, philosophies to their hearts' content, but when it comes to worship, the real practical part of religion, it should be as Jesus says, "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret".
Swami Vivekananda
