More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions
Swami Vivekananda
The banyan tree does not mean awakening, nor does the hill, nor the saint, nor the European couple. The lotus is a symbol of regeneration.
Swami Vivekananda
Books are infinite in number and time is short. The secret of knowledge is to take what is essential. Take that and try to live up to it.
Swami Vivekananda
It is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion-the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing. But to get the higher.
Swami Vivekananda
The perfect man sees nothing but God.

Swami Vivekananda
The sum total or Ishwara may be said to be All-good, Almighty, and Omniscient. These are obvious qualities, and need no argument to prove, from the very fact of totality.
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
The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.
Swami Vivekananda
Art is - representing the beautiful. There must be Art in everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Oh, to live even for a day in the full light of freedom, to breathe the free air of simplicity! Isn't that the highest purity?
Swami Vivekananda
Alcohol is not the answer to all questions
Swami Vivekananda
You must have an iron will, if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
