"Great occasions rouse even the lowest of..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“With everything we do in life we identify ourselves. Here is a man who says harsh words to me. I feel anger coming on me. In a few seconds anger and I are one, and then comes misery. Attach yourselves to the Lord and to nothing else, because everything else is unreal. Attachment to the unreal will bring misery. There is only one Existence that is real, only one Life in which there is neither object nor [subject].”

“Do not look back upon what has been done. Go Ahead.”

“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.”

“Heroes are made in the hour of defeat”

“Those who are truthful, nonviolent and brave do not cease to be so because of the stupidity of their leader.”

“Your mental attitude is the most dependable key to your personality.”

“Great minds think for themselves.”

“To be a great man it is necessary to turn to account all opportunities.”

“It is the privilege of greatness to confer intense happiness with insignificant gifts.”
