More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.
Swami Vivekananda
We have to keep the body in good health we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.
Swami Vivekananda
Each nation has a main current in life in India it is religion. Make it strong and the waters on either side must move along with it.
Swami Vivekananda
The nearer we are to God, the less we will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from God, the more will long faces come. The more we know God, the more misery vanishes.
Swami Vivekananda
We have wept enough. No more weeping, but stand on feet and be men.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything must be sacrificed, if necessary, for that one sentiment: universality.
Swami Vivekananda
According to us, there are three things in the makeup of man. There is the body, there is the mind, and there is the soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Man always is perfect, or he never could become so but he had to realise it.
Swami Vivekananda
We must have life building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
The sum total or Ishwara may be said to be All-good, Almighty, and Omniscient. These are obvious qualities, and need no argument to prove, from the very fact of totality.
Swami Vivekananda
The world has not gone one step beyond idolatry yet.
Swami Vivekananda
India is immortal if she persists in her search for God. But if she goes in for politics and social conflict, she will die.
Swami Vivekananda
As soon as you know the voice and understand what it is, the whole scene changes. The same world which was the ghastly battlefield of maya is now changed into something good and beautiful.
Swami Vivekananda
You are the creator of your own destiny
Swami Vivekananda
Is it freedom to be a slave to the senses, to anger, to jealousies and a hundred other petty things that must occur every day in human life?
Swami Vivekananda
Yes, the words of the Mother can be heard as clearly as we hear one another. But one requires a fine nerve to hear Mother's words.
Swami Vivekananda
If you have not even a little imagination, you are simply a brute. So you must not lower your ideal, neither are you to lose sight of practicality. We must avoid the two extremes.... You must try to combine in your life immense idealism with immense practicality.
Swami Vivekananda
My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
In the primal state before any manifestation, when there was no motion but perfect balance, this Prakriti was indestructible, because decomposition or death comes from instability or change.
