"The more we grow in Love, Virtue..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“Whenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart.”

“Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man.”

“He who struggles is better than he who never attempts”

“If you love people you criticize them, and if you don't love them you don't criticize them, you let them go to hell, don't you? To help any kind of friendship, your marriage, your children, you criticize because you love.”

“Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear, Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.”

“Love is an emotion that is based on an opinion of women that is impossible for those who have had any experience with them.”

“Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.”

“If a sound body and a sound mind, which is as much as to say health and virtue, are to be preferred before all other considerations, ought not men, in choosing a business either for themselves or children, to refuse such as are unwholesome for the body, and such as make a man too dependent, too much obliged to please others, and too much subjected to their humors in order to be recommended and get a livelihood?”

“The Sage expects no recognition for what he does; he achieves merit but does not take it to himself; he does not wish to display his worth.”
