The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a thing is, the more opposition I will meet with at the outset. It is opposition which foretells success. Where there is no opposition there is no success either.
Swami VivekanandaTake any path you like; follow any prophet you like; but have only that method which suits your own nature, so that you will be sure to progress.
Swami VivekanandaThe attempt to remove evil from the world by killing a thousand evil - doers, only adds to the evil in the world.
Swami VivekanandaReligion has no business to formulate social laws and insist on the difference between beings, because its aim and end is to obliterate all such fictions and monstrosities.
