The cause of today is the effect of the past and the cause for the future.

We have to keep the body in good health; we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

To get any reason out of the ...

To get any reason out of the mass of incongruity we call human life, we have to transcend our reason, but we must do it scientifically, slowly, by regular practice, and we must cast off all superstition.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Our own selfishness makes us ...

Our own selfishness makes us the most arrant cowards; our own selfishness is the great cause of fear and cowardice.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Books are infinite in number ...

Books are infinite in number and time is short. The secret of knowledge is to take what is essential. Take that and try to live up to it.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is the subjective world th...

It is the subjective world that rules the objective. Change the subject, and the object is bound to change; purify youreslf, and the world is bound to be purified.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

No one should be judged by th...

No one should be judged by their defects. The great virtues a person has are his or her especially. But their errors are the common weakness of humanity and should never be counted in estimating a person’s character.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We reap what we sow. We are t...

We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind?....... We make our own destiny.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Never talk about the faults o...

Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault; you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We, we, and none else, are re...

We, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Never say any man is hopeless...

Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

True religion is not talk, or...

True religion is not talk, or doctrines, or theories, nor is it sectarianism. It is the relation between soul and God. Religion does not consist in erecting temples, or building churches, or attending public worship. It is not to be found in books, or in words, or in lectures, or in organizations. Religion consists in realization. We must realize God, feel God, see God, talk to God. That is religion.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Education is not the amount o...

Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-makin g, assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

This life is a hard fact; wor...

This life is a hard fact; work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Do not hate anybody, because ...

Do not hate anybody, because that hatred which comes out from you must, in the long run, come back to you. If you love, that love will come back to you, completing the circle.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Your success is not measured ...

Your success is not measured in terms of what all you obtained but in term of what you become, how you live and what actions you do. Upon this point reflect well and attain great happiness

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Neither money pays, nor name ...

Neither money pays, nor name pays, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that cleave through adamantine walls of difference.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

My countrymen should have ner...

My countrymen should have nerves of steel, muscles of iron, and minds like thunderbolt.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

A perfect life is a contradic...

A perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Life itself is a state of continuous struggle between ourselves and everything outside. Every moment we are fighting actually with external nature, and if we are defeated, our life has to go. It is, for instance, a continuous struggle for food and air. If food or air fails, we die. Life is not a simple and smoothly flowing thing, but it is a compound effect. This complex struggle between something inside and the external world is what we call life. So it is clear that when this struggle ceases, there will be an end of life.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

This is the first lesson to l...

This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself.
