"You are the makers of your own..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“You gain nothing by becoming cowards.”

“Stand up and be strong! No fear. No superstition. Face the truth as it is!”

“The mind generally takes up various objects, runs into all sorts of things. That is the lower state. There is a higher state of the mind, when it takes up one object and excludes all others.”

“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.”

“This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself.”

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

“So, it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? Thirty years from now, forty years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him- go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again, if I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.”

“Happiness is a state of mind. You can be happy or you can be unhappy.”

“You can choose to be a drag and a burden, or an inspiration and encouragement.”
