He in whose mind is no anger, hatred, or envy, who never loses his balance, dies, or is born, who is he but God?
Swami VivekanandaAll progress and power are already in every man; perfection is man's nature, only it is barred in and prevented from taking its proper course.
Swami VivekanandaBe not in despair, the way is very difficult, like walking on the edge of a razor; yet despair not, arise, awake, and find the ideal, the goal.
Swami VivekanandaNo authority can save us, no beliefs. If there is a God, all can find Him. No one needs to be told it is warm; all can discover it for themselves. So it should be with God. He should be a fact in the consciousness of every person.
Swami VivekanandaIn the world take always the position of the giver. Give everything and look for no return. Give love, give help, give service, give any little thing you can, but keep out barter. Make no conditions and none will be imposed on you. Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.
Swami VivekanandaBy doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger; and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
Swami Vivekananda
