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.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Freedom can never be reached by the weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the highest being in creation, because he attains to freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is intensely eager, everything can be accomplished—mountains can be crumbled into atoms.
Swami Vivekananda
No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules in other words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round, and so on.
Swami Vivekananda
The essence of our Faith consists simply in this freedom of the Ishta.
Swami Vivekananda
Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.
Swami Vivekananda
We first observe facts, then generalise, and then draw conclusions or principles.
Swami Vivekananda
On this basic - being right and doing right the whole world can unite.
Swami Vivekananda
Buddha and Christ were second-rate heroes. The greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. They put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools or systems in their name. They never create any stir but just melt down in love.
Swami Vivekananda
Let there be as little materialism as possible, with the maximum of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
The cheerful mind perseveres and the strong mind hews its way through a thousand difficulties.
Swami Vivekananda
There is this difference between the love taught by Christianity and that taught by Hinduism: Christianity teaches us to love our neighbours as we should wish them to love us Hinduism asks us to love them as ourselves, in fact to see ourselves in them.
Swami Vivekananda
Excepting the infinite spirit, everything else is changing. There is the whirl of change.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Children of those ancient Aryans, through the grace of the Lord may you have the same pride, may that faith in your ancestors come into your blood, may it become a part and parcel of your lives, may it work towards the salvation of the world!
Swami Vivekananda
We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough.
Swami Vivekananda
We want Shraddhâ, we want faith in our own selves. Strength is life, weakness is death. 'We are the Âtman, deathless and free pure, pure by nature. Can we ever commit any sin? Impossible!' - such a faith is needed. Such a faith makes men of us, makes gods of us. It is by losing this idea of Shraddha that the country has gone to ruin.
Swami Vivekananda
How to transcend the senses without disturbing the health is what we want to learn.
Swami Vivekananda
The same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so the difference lies in the way in which it is used.
Swami Vivekananda
Art is - representing the beautiful. There must be Art in everything.
Swami Vivekananda
