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.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Science and religion will meet and shake hands.
Swami Vivekananda
To be unselfish, perfectly selfless, is salvation itself for the man within dies, and God alone remains.
Swami Vivekananda
Superhuman power is not strong enough.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest sin is to think that you are weak. No one is greater: realize that you are Brahman. Nothing has power except what you give it.
Swami Vivekananda
All manifest life seems to require a period of sleep, of calm, in which to gain added strength, renewed vigour, for the next manifestation, or awakening to activity. Thus is the march of all progress, of all manifest life - in waves, successive waves, [of] activity and repose. Waves succeed each other in an endless chain of progression.
Swami Vivekananda
In every attempt there are many obstacles to cope with, but gradually the path becomes smooth.
Swami Vivekananda
Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith, faith in God, this is the secret of greatness.If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological Gods, and in all the Gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute can never be thought of.
Swami Vivekananda
We shall progress inch by inch.
Swami Vivekananda
Each soul is potentially divine.
Swami Vivekananda
Thinking of objects, attachment to them is formed in a man. From attachment longing, and from longing anger grows.
Swami Vivekananda
He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the worlds meshes, as a lion from its cage.
Swami Vivekananda
Let each one of us pray day and night for the downtrodden millions who are held fast by poverty, priestcraft, and tyranny. Pray day and night for them. I care more to preach religion to them than to the high and the rich.
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
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
I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man. The chances are that in five minutes John kicks Jane, and Jane kicks John. This is a materialism and no love at all. If John could really love Jane, he would be perfect that moment.
Swami Vivekananda
Everybody is changing.
Swami Vivekananda
If you are angry, and then happy, the next moment the anger passes away. Out of that anger you manufactured the next state. These states are always interchangeable. Eternal happiness and misery are a child's dream.
Swami Vivekananda
Calm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.
Swami Vivekananda
When once you consider an action, do not let anything dissuade you. Consult your heart, not others, and then follow its dictates.
Swami Vivekananda
