Image
Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We have either to progress or to degenerate. Our ancestors did great things in the past, but we have to grow into a fuller life and march beyond even their great achievements.
Swami Vivekananda
Image

Swami Vivekananda

Come out into the Universe of Light. Everything in the Universe is Yours, stretch out your arms and Embrace it with Love
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love.
Swami Vivekananda

There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Where no bondage is, there is no cause and effect.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
. . . Have patience and be faithful unto death. Do not fight among yourselves. Be perfectly pure in money dealings. . . . We will do great things yet. . . . So long as you have faith and honesty and devotion, everything will prosper.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stand in that reverent attitude to the whole universe, and then will come perfect non attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Let him who has courage in his mind and love in his heart come with me. I want none else.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is clear to us that, for good or for evil, our vitality is concentrated in our religion. You cannot change it. You cannot destroy it and put in its place another.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
