More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
The Church tries to fit Christ into it, not the Church into Christ.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have fire and spread all over. Work, work. Be the servant while leading, be unselfish, and never listen to one friend in private accusing another. Have infinite patience, and success is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is (not to progress) it is the nature of man to seek good and avoid evil it is the nature of God to seek neither, but just to be eternally blissful. Let us be God!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This caste system had grown by the practice of the son always following the business of the father.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Principles must conquer in the long run, for that is the manhood of man.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A nation is not to be judged by its weaklings called the wicked, as they are only the weeds which lag behind, but by the good, the noble, and the pure, who indicate the national life current flowing clear and vigorous.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion is the peculiarity of the growth of the Indian mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Face the brutes. That is a lesson for all life-face the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee before them.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man’s head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stand in that reverent attitude to the whole universe, and then will come perfect non attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
[The seers call him wise] whose every attempt is free, without any desire for gain, without any selfishness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Say it with pride we are Hindus
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Those who are acquainted with the literature of India will remember a beautiful old story about this extreme charity, how a whole family, as related in the Mahâbhârata, starved themselves to death and gave their last meal to a beggar. This is not an exaggeration, for such things still happen.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. All great things must of necessity be slow.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
Swami Vivekananda
