To me an Indian is one who has got a Vedantic brain which probes deep and soars high; an Islamic body that is vibrant and valiant; a Buddhistic heart overflowing with compassion and kindness and Christian limbs of service and sacrifice.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We do not look at our own fau...

We do not look at our own faults; the eyes do not see themselves, they see the eyes of everybody else. We human beings are very slow to recognise our own weakness, our own faults, so long as we can lay the blame upon somebody else.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The great secret of true succ...

The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

It is not God's fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We came to enjoy; we are bein...

We came to enjoy; we are being enjoyed. We came to rule; we are being ruled. We came to work; we are being worked. All the time, we find that. And this comes into every detail of our life.

Books are only made so that they may point the way to a higher life; but no good results unless the path is trodden with unflinching steps!

. . . If you are really my children, you will fear nothing, stop at nothing. You will be like lions. We must rouse India and the whole world. No cowardice.

Three things are necessary to make every man great,every nation great1.Conviction of the powers of goodness.2.Absence of jealousy and suspicion.3.Helping all who are trying to be and do good.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

We are responsible for what w...

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

A golden chain is as much a c...

A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. Shri Ramakrishna used to say that, to pick out one thorn which has stuck into the foot, another thorn is requisitioned, and when the thorn is taken out, both are thrown away. So the bad tendencies are to be counteracted by the good ones, but after that, the good tendencies have also to be conquered.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

There is no help for you outs...

There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself.... Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The day, man will find that he never really dies; that his Soul persists beyond death; he will have no more fear of death.

I am indebted to my mother for the efflorescence of my knowledge.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Books are good but they are only maps. Reading a book by direction of a man I read that so many inches of rain fell during the year. Then he told me to take the book and squeeze it between my hands. I did so and not a drop of water came from it. It was the idea only that the book conveyed. So we can get good from books, from the temple, from the church, from anything, so long as it leads us onward and upward.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Liberty is the first condition of growth. It is wrong, a thousand times wrong, if any of you dares to say, 'I will work out the salvation of this woman or child.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Let positive, strong, helpful...

Let positive, strong, helpful thoughts enter into your brains from very childhood. Lay yourselves open to these thoughts, and not to weakening and paralysing ones.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

The brain and muscles must develop simultaneously. Iron nerves with an intelligent brain — and the whole world is at your feet.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Our religion teaches that anger is a great sin, even if it is "righteous".

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened.

Vivekananda 1692 quotes

Have faith in yourself. You p...

Have faith in yourself. You people were once the Vedic Rishis. Only, you have come in different forms, that's all. I see it clear as daylight that you all have infinite power in you. Rouse that up; arise, arise - apply yourselves heart and soul, gird up your loins.
