This craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so - called good - is nothing but an illusion.
Swami VivekanandaNever 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 VivekanandaThis, I have seen in life - those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step. Those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace; and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.
Swami Vivekananda
