“Things do not grow better; they remain as they are. It is we who grow better, by the changes we make in ourselves.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“The brain and muscles must develop simultaneously. Iron nerves with an intelligent brain — and the whole world is at your feet.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Do not believe a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.”

“The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy - by one, or more, or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“The only religion that ought to be taught is the religion of fearlessness. Either in this world or in the world of religion, it is true that fear is the sure cause of degradation and sin. It is fear that brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil. And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Books are infinite in number and time is short. The secret of knowledge is to take what is essential. Take that and try to live up to it.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“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.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“A fool may buy all the books in the world, and they will be in his library; but he will be able to read only those that he deserves to.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you, but do not think of that now.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Each work has to pass through these stages—ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance. Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda

How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!” er a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?

Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do any thing and everything, without even the guidance of any one. Stand up and express the divinity within you.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda

Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”
