I have long given up the idea of a little house on the Ganges, as I have not the money.
Swami VivekanandaGreat work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. ... Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
Swami VivekanandaHere in India, it is religion that forms the very core of the national heart. It is the backbone, the bed-rock, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built. Politics, power, and even intellect form a secondary consideration here. Religion, therefore, is the one consideration in India.
Swami VivekanandaAll power is within you. Believe in that,do not believe that you are weak... Stand up and express the Divinity within you.
Swami Vivekananda
