Many of us do not believe in any form of idolatry; but they have no right to object when others do it.
Swami VivekanandaWe, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.
Swami VivekanandaIn Buddha we had the great, universal heart and infinite patience, making religion practical and bringing it to everyone's door.
Swami VivekanandaI am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans; the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.
Swami Vivekananda
