Swami Vivekananda Quotes

Know that the mind which is born to succeed joins itself to a determined will and perseveres Picture Quote #1

You have the right to work, but do not become so degenerate as to look for results. Work incessantly, but see something behind the work. Even good deeds can find a man in great bondage. Therefore be not bound by good deeds or by desires for name and fame Picture Quote #1

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better Picture Quote #1

So long as there is desire or want, it is a sure sign that there is imperfection. A perfect, free being cannot have any desire Picture Quote #1

This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself Picture Quote #1

This life is a hard fact; work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger Picture Quote #1

We came to enjoy; we are being enjoyed. We came to rule; we are being ruled. We came to work; we are being worked. All the time, we find that. And this comes into every detail of our life Picture Quote #1

We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough. You are the soul, free and eternal, ever free, ever blessed. Have faith enough and you will be free in a minute Picture Quote #1

We must have friendship for all; we must be merciful toward those that are in misery; when people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we must be indifferent. These attitudes will make the mind peaceful Picture Quote #1

We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise Picture Quote #1

Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark Picture Quote #1

All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything Picture Quote #1

Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way Picture Quote #1

Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak Picture Quote #1

When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state Picture Quote #1

Work and worship are necessary to take away the veil, to lift off the bondage and illusion Picture Quote #1

Work on with the intrepidity of a lion but at the same time with the tenderness of a flower Picture Quote #1

Even the least work done for others awakens the power within; even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion Picture Quote #1

When you are doing any work, do not think of anything beyond. Do it as worship, as the highest worship, and devote your whole life to it for the time being Picture Quote #1

The weak have no place here, in this life or any other life. Weakness leads to slavery. Weakness leads to all kinds of misery, physical and mental. Weakness is death Picture Quote #1

Do you have the belief in you to move on, even when the whole world is against you, with swords in their hands? Picture Quote #1

Be not in despair, the way is very difficult, like walking on the edge of a razor; yet despair not, arise, awake, and find the ideal, the goal Picture Quote #1

All great undertakings are achieved through mighty obstacles. Keep up the deepest mental poise. Take not even the slightest notice of what puerile creatures may be saying against you Picture Quote #1
