"We are responsible for what we are,..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“Law is death. The more of the law in a country, the worse for the country.”

“What we call powers, secrets of nature, and force, are all within. In the external world are only a series of changes.”

“Every one is struggling for freedom-from the atom to the star. The ignorant man is satisfied if he can get freedom within a certain limit-if he can get rid of the bondage of hunger or of being thirsty. But that sage feels that there is a stronger bondage which has to be thrown off. He would not consider the freedom of the Red Indian as freedom at all.”

“Expect much from yourself and little from others and you will avoid incurring resentments”

“How others treat me is their path; how I react is mine.”

“Nothing can work damage to me except myself; the harm that I sustain I carry about with me and never am a real sufferer except by my own fault.”

“I repeat that in this sense the most splendid court in Christendom is provincial, having authority to consult about Transalpine interests only, and not the affairs of Rome. A prætor or proconsul would suffice to settle the questions which absorb the attention of the English Parliament and the American Congress.”

“I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools.”

“There never appear more than five or six men of genius in an age, but if they were united the world could not stand before them.”
