The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.
Swami VivekanandaHowever we may receive blows, and however knocked about we may be, the Soul is there and is never injured. We are that Infinite.
Swami VivekanandaWhat is the use of talking of one's mistakes to the world? They cannot thereby be undone. For what one has done one must suffer; one must try and do better. The world sympathizes only with the strong and the powerful.
Swami VivekanandaWe can form no idea of the millions of pounds that are spent every year in the making of dress in the West. The dress-making business has become a regular science. What colour of dress will suit with the complexion of the girl and the colour of her hair, what special feature of her body should be disguised, and what displayed to the best advantage-these and many other like important points, the dressmakers have seriously to consider. Again, the dress that ladies of very high position wear, others have to wear also, otherwise they lose their caste! This is FASHION.
Swami Vivekananda
