"In Shankaracharya we saw tremendous intellectual power,..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“Through the senses, anger comes, and sorrow comes.”

“The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.”

“It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.”

“Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect.”

“I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood.”

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”

“Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.”

“I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's.”

“All things are linked with one another, and this oneness is sacred; there is nothing that is not interconnected with everything else. For things are interdependent, and they combine to form this universal order. There is only one universe made up of all things, and one creator who pervades them; there is one substance and one law, namely, common reason in all thinking creatures, and all truth is one-if, as we believe, there is only one path of perfection for all beings who share the same mind.”
