When the body is still healthy and diseaseless, When old age has not yet attacked it
Swami VivekanandaTo give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.
Swami VivekanandaLet a man go down as low as possible; there must come a time when out of sheer desperation he will take an upward curve and will learn to have faith in himself.
Swami VivekanandaWe should cultivate the optimistic temperament, and endeavour to see the good that dwells in everything. If we sit down and lament over the imperfection of our bodies and our minds, we profit nothing; it is the heroic endeavour to subdue adverse circumstances that carries our spirit upward.
Swami Vivekananda
