"Everything must be sacrificed, if necessary, for..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“We see many persons talking the most wonderfully fine things about charity and about equality and the rights of other people and all that, but it is only in theory. I was so fortunate as to find one who was able to carry theory into practice. He had the most wonderful faculty of carrying everything into practice which he thought was right.”

“In Shankaracharya we saw tremendous intellectual power, throwing the scorching light of reason upon everything.”

“If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true; this I have learnt after suffering all my life; all else is mere moonshine.”

“I don't believe in different ways of fighting now. I mean, unless human beings have 3 arms and 3 legs, then we will have a different way of fighting. But basically we all have two arms and two legs so that is why I believe there should be only one way of fighting and that is no way.”

“But in every matter the consensus of opinion among all nations is to be regarded as the law of nature.”

“Truth is not private property.”

“In order to develop the willpower it takes to sacrifice, you must first realize that spending all your time and energy pursuing material comforts means you will eventually suffer. It's all about positive and negative consequences. It's very important to be aware that there are long-term consequences [for every action].”

“If I should stayI would only be in your waySo I'll go, but I knowI'll think of you each step of the wayAnd I will always love youI will always love youBitter sweet MemoriesThat's all I am taking with meGood-bye. Please don't cryWe both know that I'm notWhat you needBut I will always love youI will always love you.”

“I love him who scattereth golden words in advance of his deeds, and always doeth more than he promiseth: for he seeketh his own down-going.”
