"Neither seek nor avoid; take what comes...." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“Society does not go down because of the activities of criminals,But because of the inactivities of the good people.”

“That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.”

“Marriage is not for individual happiness, but for the welfare of the nation and the caste.”

“I don't know how much money I've got. I did ask the accountant how much it came to. I wrote it down on a bit of paper. But I've lost the bit of paper.”

“All things in nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfill their function and make no claim. All things alike do their work, and then we see them subside. When they have reached their bloom, each returns to its origin. . . . This reversion is an eternal law. To know that law is wisdom.”

“We are happy in proportion to the things we can do without.”

“Live free, child of the mist,- and with respect to knowledge we are allchildren of the mist.”

“The more we simplify our material needs the more we are free to think of other things.”

“As for the "proper way:" it is the beginning of disorder.”
