Swami Vivekananda

Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man. Vivekananda

Do not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can, build your hope on none. Vivekananda

Purity, patience, and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all, love. Vivekananda

Work, work, work—let this be your motto. Vivekananda

All work is simply to bring out the power of the mind, which is already there, to wake up the soul. Vivekananda

It is our work alone that really counts. 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. Vivekananda

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. Vivekananda

Strength is life; weakness is death. Vivekananda

Take risks in your life. If you win, you can lead; if you lose, you can guide. Vivekananda

Be a hero. Always say, ‘I have no fear.’ Vivekananda

Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable. Vivekananda

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart. Vivekananda

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.” Vivekananda

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself. Vivekananda

Talk to yourself once in a day, otherwise you may miss meeting an intelligent person in this world. Vivekananda

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them. Vivekananda

Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached. Vivekananda
