The world is a demon. It is a kingdom of which the puny ego is king. Put it away and stand firm.
Swami VivekanandaWork on with the intrepidity of a lion but at the same time with the tenderness of a flower.
Swami VivekanandaAvoid excessive merriment. A mind in that state never becomes calm; it becomes fickle. Excessive merriment will always be followed by sorrow. Tears and laughter are near kin. People so often run from one extreme to the other.
Swami Vivekananda
