Things do not grow better; they remain as they are. It is we who grow better, by the changes we make in ourselves.
Swami VivekanandaEach person tries to hold himself hss and lay the blame upon somebody or something else, or even on bad luck.
Swami VivekanandaThere is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one point
Swami VivekanandaI am a socialist not because I think it is a perfect system, but half a loaf is better than no bread. The other system has been tried and found wanting
Swami VivekanandaNo one should be judged by their defects. The great virtues a person has are his or her especially. But their errors are the common weakness of humanity and should never be counted in estimating a personโs character.
Swami VivekanandaGod is the one goal of all our passions and emotions. If you want to be angry, be angry with Him. Chide your Beloved, chide your Friend. Whom else can you safely chide? Mortal man will not patiently put up with your anger; there will be a reaction. If you are angry with me I am sure quickly to react, because I cannot patiently put up with your anger. Say unto the Beloved, "Why do You not come to me; why do You leave me thus alone?" Where is there any enjoyment but in Him? What enjoyment can there be in little clods of earth?
Swami Vivekananda
