Our religion teaches that anger is a great sin, even if it is righteous.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Hindus believe in God positively. Buddhism does not try to know whether He is or not.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Therefore we must always expect to find things not up to our highest ideal. Knowing this, we are bound to make the best of everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within. You can do anything. You fail only when you do not strive sufficiently to manifest infinite power. As soon as a man or a nation loses faith, death comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everybody is changing.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The difference between architecture and building is that the former expresses an idea, while the latter is merely a structure built on economical principles. The value of matter depends solely on its capacities of expressing ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Weakness is constant strain and misery: weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is the Prana that is manifesting as motion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All power is within you you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do anything and everything without even the guidance of any one.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There cannot be a cause without an effect, the present must have had its cause in the past and will have its effect in the future.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage is an institution very safely guarded.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Spirituality as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I stand for truth. Truth will never ally itself with falsehood. Even if all the world should be against me, Truth must prevail in the end.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is impossible to think about the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is impossible for a bird to fly on only one wing.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One who leans on others cannot serve the God of Truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stand up, be bold, and take the blame on your own shoulders. Do not go about throwing mud at others for all the faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All is bound by the law of causation
