"Marriage or non-marriage, good or evil, learning..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“I am a slave of Ramakrishna, who left his work to be done by me and will not give me rest till I have finished it. And oh, how shall I speak of him? Oh, his love for me!”

“This earth is higher than all the heavens; this is the greatest school in the universe.”

“The more we grow in Love, Virtue and Holiness, the more we see Love, Virtue and Holiness outside.”

“The spinning wheel is not meant to oust a single man or woman from his or her occupation.”

“The last end of every maker, as such, is himself, for what we make we use for our own sake; and if at any time a man make a thing for the sake of something else, it is referred to his own good, whether his use, his pleasure, or his virtue.”

“No man (sic) has learned to live until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. Length without breadth is like a self-contained tributary having no outward flow to the ocean. Stagnant, still and stale, it lacks both life and freshness. In order to live creatively and meaningfully, our self-concern must be wedded to other concerns.”

“The ends justifies the means.”

“Animals... are there merely as a means to an end. That end is man.”

“The Congress fights not with violent but with nonviolent means, however imperfect, however crude the nonviolence may be.”
