Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
We are the makers of our own lives. There is no such thing as fate. Our lives are the result of our previous actions, our karma, and it naturally flows that, having been ourselves the makers of our karma, we must also be able to unmake it.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not say, ‘You are bad’ say only, ‘You are good’, but be better!
Swami Vivekananda
We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough.
Swami Vivekananda
Art is - representing the beautiful. There must be Art in everything.
