Swami Vivekananda

always keep your mind joyful; if melancholy thoughts come, kick them out.

Consciously or unconsciously, we are all striving for perfection.

if you want to do a great or a good work, do not trouble to think what the result will be.

all misery comes from fear, from unsatisfied desire.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you free.

stand up, be bold. you are the sole and only cause.

Strength is Life, Weakness is Death".

Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

Things do not grow better; they remain as they are. It is we who grow better, by the changes we make in ourselves.

Arise, awake, stop not till the goal is reached.

A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.

Feel nothing, know nothing, do nothing, have nothing, give up all to God, and say utterly, 'Thy will be done.' We only dream this bondage. Wake up and let it go.

Strength is Life, Weakness is Death.Expansion is Life, Contraction is Death.Love is Life, Hatred is Death.

They alone live, who live for others.

Anything that makes weak - physically, intellectually and spiritually, reject it as poison.

The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.

Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man.
