We have seen that our vigour, our strength, nay, our national life is in our religion.
Swami VivekanandaYou must have an iron will, if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
Swami VivekanandaWe are what our considered opinion abide through us; so put up with assiduousness about what you storage. Natter are sub-. Line live; they travel far.
Swami VivekanandaRenounce and give up. What did Christ say? "He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." Again and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection. There comes a time when the mind awakes from this long and dreary dream-the child gives up its play and wants to go back to its mother. Renunciation is not asceticism. Are all beggars Christ? Poverty is not a synonym for holiness; often the reverse.
