Vivekananda's sayings



Religion is the idea which is raising the brute unto man, and man unto God.

All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that.

Work,work, work - let this be your motto.

Now the only way out is to listen to the words of the Lord in the Gita.

Bea hero. Always say, "I have no fear".

Struggle hard to get money, but don’t get attached to it.

To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion.Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.

At my will mountains will crumble up. Have that sort of energy, that sort of will; work hard, and you will reach the goal.

It is those foolish people who identify themselves with their bodies that piteously cry, ‘Weak, weak, we are weak’.

Keep the motto before you: "Elevation of the masses without injuring their religion".

Man never progresses from error to truth, but from truth to truth, from lesser truth to higher truth.

Avoid all weakness, for weakness is sin, weakness is death.

Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that.

I shall inspire men every where until the world shall know that it is one with God.

Let us go forward and do yet greater things.

The more selfish a man, the more immoral he is.

Give to the weak, for there all the gift is needed.

Knowledge exists, man only discovers it.

Give up all desire for enjoyment in earth or heaven.

Be courageous. Do not try to lead your brethren, but serve them.

Be the witness and do not react, only thus can you be happy.

Feel that you are great and you become great.
