Swami Vivekananda

Arise,awake and donot stop until the goal is reached.  

As all the rivers of the world constantly pour their waters into the ocean, but the oceans grand, majestic nature remains undisturbed and unchanged,  

Anything that brings spiritual, mental, or physical weakness, touch it not with the toes of your feet.  

The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.  

Religion is being and becoming. Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man.  

All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you.  

Of one hundred persons who take up the spiritual life, eighty turn out to be charlatans, fifteen insane, and only five, maybe, get a glimpse of the real truth. Therefore beware.  

When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.  

Put the good before them, see how eagerly they take it, see how the divine that never dies, that is always living in the human...  

Where the whole world is awake, the sage sleeps.  

This attachment of Love to God is indeed one that does not bind the soul but effectively breaks all its bondages.  

Have Faith in Man, whether he appears to you to be a very learned one or a most ignorant one.  

God is present in every Jiva there is no other God besides that. Who serves Jiva serves God indeed.  

The more we grow in Love, Virtue and Holiness, the more we see Love, Virtue and Holiness outside.  

The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.  

Serve man Serve god  

If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.  

The Older I grow, the more everything seems to me to lie in manliness. This is my new gospel  

But where the ignorant are asleep, there the sage keeps awake  

Now is wanted intense Karma-Yoga with unbounded courage and indomitable strength in the heart. Then only will the people of the country be roused.
