Swami Vivekanandji's Quotes


“All the power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in  that; don’t believe that you are weak. Stand up and express the divinity within you.

“What ever you think, that you will be. If you think yourself weak, weak you will be; if you  think yourself strong; strong you will be.

“Stand and die in your own strength; if there is any sin in the world, it is weakness; avoid all weakness, for weakness is sin, weakness is death.

“Neither money pays, nor name pays, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that  cleave through adamantine walls of difference.

Three things are necessary to make every man great, every nation great:
1. Conviction of the powers of goodness,
2. Absence of jealousy and suspicion,
3. Helping all who are trying to be and do good

“Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master. Avoid jealousy, and you will do great works that are yet to be done.

“Take up one idea, make that one idea your life, think of it, dream of it, live of it, let the brain, muscle, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea and just leave every other idea alone. This is the  way great spiritual giants are produced, others are mere talking  machines.
