Wherever in any society there are too many laws, it is a sure sign that that society will soon die. If you study the characteristics of India, you will find that no nation possesses so many laws as the Hindus, and national death is the result.

Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whenever two particles come together, they are held by a certain attraction and there will come a time when those particles will separate. This is the eternal law. So, wherever there is a body - either grosser or finer, either in heaven or on earth - death will overcome it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The nearer we are to God, the less we will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from God, the more will long faces come. The more we know God, the more misery vanishes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
What is the use of talking of one's mistakes to the world? They cannot thereby be undone. For what one has done one must suffer one must try and do better. The world sympathizes only with the strong and the powerful.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. All great things must of necessity be slow.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Brave, bold men, these are what we want. What we want is vigour in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I have long given up the idea of a little house on the Ganges, as I have not the money.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited , is no longer questioned.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You yourself are to blame. This weeping and wailing and knocking your heads into corners [against brick walls, as it were] will not do you the least good.
