We know how often in our lives through laziness and cowardice we give up the battle and try to hypnotise our minds into the belief that we are brave.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Marriage is an institution very safely guarded.
Swami Vivekananda
Forgive offences by the million. And if you love all unselfishly, all will by degrees come to love one another.
Swami Vivekananda
All power is within you you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do anything and everything without even the guidance of any one.
Swami Vivekananda
Stand in that reverent attitude to the whole universe, and then will come perfect non attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Man the infinite dreamer, dreaming finite dreams!
Swami Vivekananda
May He who is the Brahman of the Hindus, the Ahura-Mazda of the Zoroastrians, the Buddha of the Buddhists, the Jehovah of the Jews, the Father in Heaven of the Christians give strength to you to carry out your noble idea.
Swami Vivekananda
The power of meditation gets us everything. If you want to get power over nature, [you can have it through meditation]. It is through the power of meditation all scientific facts are discovered today. They study the subject and forget everything, their own identity and everything, and then the great fact comes like a flash.
Swami Vivekananda
The world cares little for principles. They care for persons.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.
Swami Vivekananda
From attachment comes longing, and longing breeds anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion, confused memory. From confused memory comes the ruin of discrimination and from the ruin of discrimination, a man perishes.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever you are doing, put your whole mind on it. If you are shooting, your mind should be only on the target. Then you will never miss. If you are learning your lessons, think only of the lesson. In India boys and girls are taught to do this.
Swami Vivekananda
Materialism prevails in Europe today. You may pray for the salvation of the modern sceptics, but they do not yield, they want reason.
Swami Vivekananda
Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.
Swami Vivekananda
A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatsoever has form must be the result of combinations of particles and requires something else behind it to move it.
Swami Vivekananda
I direct my attention to the individual, to make him strong, to teach him that he himself is divine, and I call upon men to make themselves conscious of this divinity within. That is really the ideal --conscious or unconscious --of every religion.
Swami Vivekananda
A man must not only have faith but intellectual faith too. To make a man take up everything and believe it, would be to make him a lunatic.
Swami Vivekananda
Let there be as little materialism as possible, with the maximum of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Come out into the Universe of Light. Everything in the Universe is Yours, stretch out your arms and Embrace it with Love
Swami Vivekananda
