More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. ... Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
Swami Vivekananda
Stamping down the weakness of mind and heart, stand up, saying, I am possessed of heroism, I am possessed of a steady intellect... Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.
Swami Vivekananda
To see God is the one goal. Power is not the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
You nourish your minds by reading books. There is no good in doing that unless you hold it also as a sacrifice to the whole world. For the whole world is one you are rated a very insignificant part of it, and therefore it is right for you that you should serve your millions of brothers rather than aggrandise this little self
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
Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
Swami Vivekananda
The Imitation of Christ is a cherished treasure of the Christian world. This great book was written by a Roman Catholic monk. Written, perhaps, is not the proper word. It would be more appropriate to say that each letter of the book is marked deep with the heart's blood of the great soul who had renounced all for his love of Christ.
Swami Vivekananda
Infinite perfection is in every man, though unmanifested. Every man has in him the potentiality of attaining to perfect saintliness, Rishihood, or to the most exalted position of an Avatâra, or to the greatness of a hero in material discoveries.
Swami Vivekananda
If you can think that infinite power, infinite knowledge and indomitable energy lie within you, and if you can bring out that power, you also can become like me.
Swami Vivekananda
When we free ourselves from name and form, especially from a body - when we need no body, good or bad - then only do we escape from bondage.
Swami Vivekananda
I have a message for the world, which I will deliver without fear and care for the future. To the reformers I will point out that I am a greater reformer than any one of them. They want to reform only little bits. I want root-and-branch reform.
Swami Vivekananda
External nature is only internal nature writ large.
Swami Vivekananda
Law is death. The more of the law in a country, the worse for the country.
Swami Vivekananda
You must all pay attention to your health first.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can. Build your hope on none.
Swami Vivekananda
One atom in this universe cannot move without dragging the whole world along with it. There cannot be any progress without the whole world following in the wake, and it is becoming every day dearer that the solution of any problem can never be attained on racial, or national, or narrow grounds.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection can never be attained by work.
Swami Vivekananda
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
The perfect man sees nothing but God.
Swami Vivekananda
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
