That which is selfish is immo...

That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is nature that is changing...

It is nature that is changing, not the soul of man. This never changes.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Liberty in thought and action...

Liberty in thought and action is the only condition of life, growth and well-being: Where it does not exist, the man, the race, and the nation must go down.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

If I, as an Oriental have to ...

If I, as an Oriental have to worship Jesus of Nazareth, there is only one way, that is, to worship him as God and nothing else.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The human will stands beyond ...

The human will stands beyond all circumstances. Everything must go down before the will, for that comes from God Himself; a pure and a strong will is omnipotent. Before it all the powers, even of nature, must bow down, succumb, and become its servants - the strong gigantic, infinite will in man.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Never allow weakness to overt...

Never allow weakness to overtake your mind. Remember Mahavira, remember the Divine Mother! And you will see that all weakness, all cowardice will vanish at once.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Liberty is the first conditio...

Liberty is the first condition of growth. Your ancestors gave every liberty to the soul, and religion grew. They put the body under every bondage, and society did not grow. The opposite is the case in the West - every liberty to society, none to religion. Now are falling off the shackles from the feet of Eastern society as from those of Western religion.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The older I grow, the more I ...

The older I grow, the more I see behind the idea of the Hindus that man is the greatest of all beings.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The Vedas give information on...

The Vedas give information on various subjects. They have come together and form one book. And in later times, when other subjects were separated from religion - when astronomy and astrology were taken out of religion - these subjects, being connected with the Vedas and being ancient, were considered very holy.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Many a time comes when we wan...

Many a time comes when we want to interpret our weakness and cowardice as forgiveness and renunciation.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

A monk is not forbidden to ma...

A monk is not forbidden to marry, but if he takes a wife she becomes a monk with the same powers and privileges and occupies the same social position as her husband.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Praise and blame, good and ba...

Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The only religion that ought ...

The only religion that ought to be taught is the religion of fearlessness. Either in this world or in the world of religion, it is true that fear is the sure cause of degradation and sin. It is fear that brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil. And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Doing is very good, but that ...

Doing is very good, but that comes from thinking. Little manifestations of energy through the muscles are called work. But where there is no thought, there will be no work. Fill the brain, therefore, with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

All that is real in me is God...

All that is real in me is God; all that is real in God is I. The gulf between God and me is thus bridged. Thus by knowing God, we find that the kingdom of heaven is within us.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Men may have given millions o...

Men may have given millions of dollars and fed rats and cats, as some do in India. They say that men can take care of themselves, but the poor animals cannot. . .

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

In the English character, the...

In the English character, the "give and take" policy, the business principle of the trader, is principally inherent.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Struggle hard and then if you...

Struggle hard and then if you do not succeed, you are not to blame. Let the world praise or blame you. Let all the wealth of the earth come to your feet, or let you be made the poorest on earth. Let death come this moment or hundreds of years hence. Swerve not from the path you have taken. All good thoughts are immortal and go to make Buddhas and Christs.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Life without death and happin...

Life without death and happiness without misery are contradiction and neither can be found alone, because each of them is a different manifestation of the same thing.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We must not forget that healt...

We must not forget that health is only a means to an end. If health were the end, we would be like animals; animals rarely become unhealthy.
