We know how often in our lives through laziness and cowardice we give up the battle and try to hypnotise our minds into the belief that we are brave.
Swami VivekanandaTo be more free is the goal of all our efforts, for only in perfect freedom can there be perfection.
Swami VivekanandaUnselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish; and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world; yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
