So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every person a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them!

Swami Vivekananda

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.

Society does not go down because of the activities of criminals, but because of the inactivities of the good people.

Spirituality as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.

Stand in that reverent attitude to the whole universe, and then will come perfect non attachment.

Swami Vivekananda

Take any path you like; follow any prophet you like; but have only that method which suits your own nature, so that you will be sure to progress.

Swami Vivekananda

Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
