More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go the sooner the better.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The only saint is that soul that never weakens, faces everything, and determines to die game.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is one the paths to reach him (religions) are many - just as different rivers, originating in different mountains, traverse different paths, flowing straight or crooked, and at last join the ocean. He is the one Lord of all, the one Soul of all souls.
Swami Vivekananda

What 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 Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
Image
You know the disease, you know the remedy, only have faith.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Why is it that we three hundred and thirty millions of people have been ruled for the last one thousand years by any and every handful of foreigners who chose to walk over our prostrate bodies? Because they had faith in themselves and we had not.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
Avoid all mystery. There is no mystery in religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is salvation only for the brave.
Swami Vivekananda

To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You have heard that Christ said, 'My words are spirit and they are life'. So are my words spirit and life they will burn their way into your brain and you will never get away from them!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.
Swami Vivekananda
