"We must always bear in mind that..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“All real progress must be slow.”

“Seek no praise, no reward, for anything you do. No sooner do we perform a good action than we begin to desire credit for it. No sooner do we give money to some charity than we want to see our names blazoned in the papers. Misery must come as the result of such desires.”

“Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. ... Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.”

“If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.”

“Let us ask ourselves, 'What kind of people do we think we are?' And let us answer, 'Free people, worthy of freedom and determined not only to remain so but to help others gain their freedom as well.'”

“If it is by force that we wish to achieve Swaraj, let us drop nonviolence and offer such violence as we may.”

“In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion; the more intelligent, the less sane.”

“Go on saying, I am free. Never mind if the next moment delusion comes and says, I am bound. Dehypnotize the whole thing.”

“We laugh at a man who, stepping out of his room at the very minute when the sun is rising, says, “It is my will that the sun shall rise”; or at him who, unable to stop a wheel, says, “I wish it to roll”; or, again, at him who, thrown in a wrestling match, says, “Here I lie, but here I wish to lie.” But, joking apart, do we not act like one of these three persons whenever we use the expression “I wish”?”
