Swami Vivekananda

The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.

Swami Vivekananda

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

Swami Vivekananda

Things do not grow better; they remain as they are. It is we who grow better, by the changes we make in ourselves.

Swami Vivekananda

This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing, and that very thing proves that it will have to be undone by me alone.

Swami Vivekananda

We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough.

Swami Vivekananda

When a man is perfect, he sees perfection in others. When he sees imperfection, it is his own mind projecting itself.

Swami Vivekananda

When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.

Swami Vivekananda

When I asked God for strength, He gave me difficult situations to face.

Swami Vivekananda

When once you consider an action, do not let anything dissuade you. Consult your heart, not others, and then follow its dictates.

Swami Vivekananda

When we use our imagination properly it is our greatest friend; it goes beyond reason and is the only light that takes us everywhere.
