"Perfection does not come from belief or..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle; but take the whole universe as one.”

“The highest manifestation of strength is to keep ourselves calm and on our own feet.”

“Hold on to your own ideal. . . . Above all, never attempt to guide or rule others, or, as the Yankees say, "boss" others. Be the servant of all.”

“Strive for excellence, not perfection.”

“Perfection is attained, not when no more can be added, but when no more can be removed.”

“Every thing that grows / Holds in perfection but a little moment.”

“All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it's impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.”

“You can either keep walking in misery or make the decision to begin taking steps out of it.”

“Often we are caught in a mental trap of seeing enormously successful people and thinking they are where they are because they have some special gift. Yet a closer look shows that the greatest gift that extraordinarily successful people have over the average person is their ability to get themselves to take action.”
