You must also remember that the world has God to govern it, and He has not left it to our charity. The Lord God is its Governor and Maintainer, and in spite of these wine fanatics and cigar fanatics, and all sorts of marriage fanatics, it would go on. If all these persons were to die, it would go on none the worse.
Swami VivekanandaAll these ideas such as astrology, although there may be a grain of truth in them, should be avoided.
Swami VivekanandaMy Master used to say, when a pitcher is being filled (by immersion), it gurgles, but when full, it is noiseless.
Swami VivekanandaMy countrymen should have nerves of steel, muscles of iron, and minds like thunderbolt.
