Have faith that you are all, my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you, no, not even the thunderbolts of heaven, but stand up and work!
Swami Vivekananda
We do not seek to thrust the principles of our religion upon anyone. The fundamental principles of our religion forbid that.
Swami Vivekananda
Go and preach to all, 'Arise, awake, sleep no more: within each of you there is the power to remove all wants and all miseries. Believe this, and that power will be manifested.

Swami Vivekananda
Let there be as little materialism as possible, with the maximum of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Let people say whatever they like, stick to your own convictions, and rest assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, Have faith in this fellow or that fellow, but I say, Have faith in yourself first, that's the way. Have faith in yourself-all power is in you-be conscious and bring it out. Say, I can do everything.

Swami Vivekananda
Man is not mind, he is soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their absorption in that they also realize the supreme truth-Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whole heart receive help from God.
Swami Vivekananda
We shall progress inch by inch.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death.
Swami Vivekananda
Those who die, merely suffering the woes of life like cats and dogs, are they men?
Swami Vivekananda
One way for attaining Bhakti is by repeating the name of God a number of times. Mantras have effect: the mere repetition of words.... To obtain Bhakti, seek the company of holy men who have Bhakti, and read books like the Gita and the Imitation of Christ always think of the attributes of God.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything which has name and form must die. If there are heavens with forms, these heavens must vanish in course of time they may last millions of years, but there must come a time when they will have to go.
Swami Vivekananda
May blessings and happiness attend every step of your progress in this world.
Swami Vivekananda
What do you gain in heaven? You become gods, drink nectar, and get rheumatism. There is less misery there than on earth, but also less truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
