"Stamping down the weakness of mind and..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“There is the mind itself. It is like a smooth lake which when struck, say by a stone, vibrates. The vibrations gather together and react on the stone, and all through the lake they will spread and be felt. The mind is like the lake; it is constantly being set in vibrations, which leave an impression on the mind; and the idea of the Ego, or personal self, the "I", is the result of these impressions. This "I" therefore is only the very rapid transmission of force and is in itself no reality.”

“Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.”

“We should cultivate the optimistic temperament, and endeavour to see the good that dwells in everything. If we sit down and lament over the imperfection of our bodies and our minds, we profit nothing; it is the heroic endeavour to subdue adverse circumstances that carries our spirit upward.”

“Never whine. Whining lets a brute know that a victim is in the neighborhood.”

“Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.”

“If she [woman] is weak in striking, she is strong in suffering.”

“Non- reaction is not weakness, But Strength!”

“A woman's strength is the unresistible might of weakness.”

“Treachery is more often the effect of weakness than of a formed design.”
