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!

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
Swami Vivekananda
Each man is divine. Each man that you see is a God by his very nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Know full well that patience is the best means of succeeds.
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

Swami Vivekananda
This faith in themselves was in the hearts of our ancestors, this faith in themselves was the motive power that pushed them forward and forward in the march of civilisation, and if there has been degeneration, if there has been defect, mark my words, you will find that degeneration to have started on the day our people lost faith in themselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Your way is the best for you, but that is no sign it is the best for another.
Swami Vivekananda
You must have an iron will, if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
Swami Vivekananda
It is clear to us that, for good or for evil, our vitality is concentrated in our religion. You cannot change it. You cannot destroy it and put in its place another.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the least work done for others awakens the power within even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection can never be attained by work.
Swami Vivekananda
Many a time comes when we want to interpret our weakness and cowardice as forgiveness and renunciation.
