"Take courage and work on. Patience and..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“No one step back, that is the idea.... Fight it out, whatever comes. Let the stars move from the sphere! Let the whole world stand against us!.... What of it? Thus fight! You gain nothing by becoming cowards.... Taking a step backward, you do not avoid any misfortune.”

“A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.”

“When the forces that hold it together go away, the body must fall.”

“A courageous man prefers death to the surrender of self-respect.”

“You might say what if I screw up? Then screw up big! Go for it! Do a big screw-up!”

“I've always believed in my talent. And I've always had more guts than talent.”

“You have to be un-compromised in your level of commitment to whatever you are doing, or it can disappear as fast as it appeared. Commitment cannot be compromised by rewards.”

“Character is far more important than intellect in making a man a good citizen or successful at his calling- meaning by character not only such qualities as honesty and truthfulness, but courage, perseverance and self-reliance.”

“I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose.”
