The coward, afraid of the lash, with one hand wipes his eyes and gives with the other. Of what avail are such gifts?
Swami VivekanandaBe perfectly resigned, perfectly unconcerned; then alone can you do any true work. No eyes can see the real forces; we can only see the results. Put out self, forget it; just let God work, it is HIS business.
Swami VivekanandaFreedom can never be reached by the weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.
Swami Vivekananda
