Swami VivekanandaAhimsa (non-killing), truthfulness, purity, mercy, and godliness are always to be kept.
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 VivekanandaEven the greatest fool can accomplish a task if it were after his or her heart. But the intelligent ones are those who can convert every work into one that suits their taste.
Swami VivekanandaBe grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
Swami VivekanandaHow has all the knowledge in the world been gained but by the concentration of the powers of the mind? The world is ready to give up its secrets if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through concentration. There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one point; that is the secret.
Swami Vivekananda
