Let a man go down as low as possible there must come a time when out of sheer desperation he will take an upward curve and will learn to have faith in himself.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Chemistry ceases to improve when one element is found from which all others are deductible. Physics ceases to progress when one force is found of which all others are manifestations. So religion ceases to progress when unity is reached, which is the case with Hinduism.
Swami Vivekananda
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
If you are angry, and then happy, the next moment the anger passes away. Out of that anger you manufactured the next state. These states are always interchangeable. Eternal happiness and misery are a child's dream.
Swami Vivekananda
An atheist can be charitable but not religious. But the religious man must be charitable.
Swami Vivekananda
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
Swami Vivekananda
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
Swami Vivekananda
Your country requires heroes be heroes your duty is to go on working, and then everything will follow of itself.
Swami Vivekananda
Every act of charity, every thought of sympathy, every action of help, every good deed, is taking so much of self-importance away from our little selves and making us think of ourselves as the lowest and the least, and, therefore, it is all good. Here we find that Jnâna, Bhakti, and Karma - all come to one point.
Swami Vivekananda
A monk is not forbidden to marry, but if he takes a wife she becomes a monk with the same powers and privileges and occupies the same social position as her husband.
Swami Vivekananda
It is nature that is changing, not the soul of man. This never changes.
Swami Vivekananda
Each nation has a theme: everything else is secondary. India's theme is religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as meditation can. The mind goes on jumping even in deepest sleep. Just those few moments in meditation your brain has almost stopped. ... You forget the body. ... You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of woman is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing. There is no hope for that family or country where there is no estimation of women, where they live in sadness. For this reason, they have to be raised first.
Swami Vivekananda
He whose book of the heart has been opened needs no other books.
Swami Vivekananda
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
Swami Vivekananda
One thing I must tell you. Idolatry in India does not mean anything horrible. It is not the mother of harlots.
Swami Vivekananda
God is the ever active providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time and again destroyed.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, perseverance, and energy- these three I want.
Swami Vivekananda
He who struggles is better than he who never attempts
