Swami Vivekananda
Brave, bold men, these are what we want. What we want is vigour in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough.
Swami Vivekananda
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Self-love is the first teacher of self-renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Watch people do their most common actions these are indeed the things that will tell you the real character of a great person.
Swami Vivekananda
You have the right to work, but do not become so degenerate as to look for results. Work incessantly, but see something behind the work. Even good deeds can find a man in great bondage. Therefore be not bound by good deeds or by desires for name and fame.
Swami Vivekananda
The atom cannot disobey the law. Whether it is the mental or the physical atom, it must obey the law. What is the use of [external restraint]?
Swami Vivekananda
The perfect man sees nothing but God.
Swami Vivekananda
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Swami Vivekananda
The less the thought of the body, the better. For it is the body that drags us down.
Swami Vivekananda
The mind has to be gradually and systematically brought under control.
Swami Vivekananda
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. . .
Swami Vivekananda
May blessings and happiness attend every step of your progress in this world.
Swami Vivekananda
