It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
Swami VivekanandaThe cheerful mind perseveres and the strong mind hews its way through a thousand difficulties.
Swami VivekanandaSociety is an organism which obeys the immutable law of progress; and change, judicious and cautious change, is necessary for the well being, and indeed the preservation of the social system.
Swami VivekanandaThe mistake is that we cling to the body when it is the spirit that is really immortal.
Swami VivekanandaIf a person who lives in God becomes miserable, what is the use of living in God? What is the use of such a God? Throw such a God overboard into the Pacific Ocean. We do not want such a God!
Swami VivekanandaWe have seemingly been divided, limited, because of our ignorance; and we have become as it were the little Mrs. so - and - so and Mr. so - and - so. But all nature is giving this delusion the lie every moment. I am not that little man or little woman cut off from all else; I am the one universal existence. The soul in its own majesty is rising up every moment and declaring its own intrinsic Divinity.
Swami Vivekananda
