More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
If you think that you are bound, you remain bound you make your own bondage. If you know that you are free, you are free this moment. This is knowledge, knowledge of freedom. Freedom is the goal of all nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Forgive offences by the million. And if you love all unselfishly, all will by degrees come to love one another.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute and the Infinite can become this universe only by limitation.

Swami Vivekananda
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
Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards every other animal naturally looks down.
Swami Vivekananda
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man’s head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
Swami Vivekananda
The Christians believe that Jesus Christ died to save man. With you it is belief in a doctrine, and this belief constitutes your salvation. With us doctrine has nothing whatever to do with salvation. Each one may believe in whatever doctrine he likes or in no doctrine.
Swami Vivekananda
Gita and Ganga constitute the essence of Hinduism one its theory and the other its practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Every one wants to command, and no one wants to obey and this is owing to the absence of that wonderful brahmacharya system of yore. First, learn to obey. The command will come by itself. Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master.
Swami Vivekananda
We believe that every being is divine, is God. Every soul is a sun covered over with clouds of ignorance the difference between soul and soul is owing to the difference in density of these layers of clouds.
Swami Vivekananda
Be not in despair, the way is very difficult, like walking on the edge of a razor yet despair not, arise, awake, and find the ideal, the goal.
