Business is business, that is, you must do everything promptly; delay and shuffling won't do.
Swami VivekanandaLet us make our hearts as big as an ocean, to go beyond all the trifles of the world and see it only as a picture. We can then enjoy the world without being in any way affected by it.
Swami VivekanandaMan, therefore, according to the Vedanta philosophy, is the greatest being that is in the universe.
Swami VivekanandaHow absurd to take the credit of doing the good act on oneself and lay the blame for the evil act on the Lord!
Swami VivekanandaEverything that can weaken us as a race we have had for the last thousand years. It seems as if during that period the national life had this one end in view, viz how to make us weaker and weaker, till we have become real earthworms, crawling at the feet of every one who dares to put his foot on us. Therefore my friends, as one of your blood, as one that lives and dies with you, let me tell you that we want strength, strength, and every time strength.
Swami Vivekananda
