Never mind failures; they are quite natural, they are the beauty of life, these failures. What would life be without them? It would not be worth having if it were not for struggles. Where would be the poetry of life? Never mind the struggles, the mistakes. I never heard a cow tell a lie, but it is only a cow-never a man. So never mind these failures, these little backslidings; hold the ideal a thousand times, and if you fail a thousand times, make the attempt once more.
Swami VivekanandaAn intellectual, heartless man never becomes an inspired man. It is always the heart that speaks in the man of love; it discovers a greater instrument than intellect can give you, the instrument of inspiration.
Swami VivekanandaIt will be a great pity if any feeling of jealousy or egotism gain ground amongst you.
Swami VivekanandaTo be unselfish, perfectly selfless, is salvation itself; for the man within dies, and God alone remains.
Swami Vivekananda
