Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.
Swami VivekanandaGo on bravely. Do not expect success in a day or a year. Always hold on to the highest. Be steady. Avoid jealousy and selfishness. Be obedient and eternally faithful to the cause of truth, humanity, and your country, and you will move the world.
Swami VivekanandaDespite the many iniquities that have found entrance into the practices of image-worship as it is in vogue now, I do not condemn it. Ay, where would I have been if I had not been blessed with the dust of the holy feet of that orthodox, image-worshipping Brahmin!
Swami VivekanandaWhen you talk and think of the Absolute, you have to do it in the relative; so all these logical arguments apply.
Swami Vivekananda
