Wherever there is evil and wherever there is ignorance and want of knowledge, I have found out by experience that all evil comes, as our scriptures say, relying upon differences, and that all good comes from faith in equality, in the underlying sameness and oneness of things. This is the great Vedantic ideal.

Compared to the coward that never made the attempt, he is a hero.

Man is the best mirror, and the purer the man, the more clearly he can reflect God.

Bold words and bolder deeds are what we want. Awake, awake, great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep?

Everything is present in its cause, in its fine form.

Renunciation is always the ideal of every race; only other races do not know what they are made to do by nature unconsciously.

Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
