"What power is higher than the power..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“The body is subject to the law of growth and decay, what grows must of necessity decay.”

“It is a retarding element creating hatred and anger, and causing people to fight each other, and making them unsympathetic.”

“Renunciation is the very basis upon which ethics stands.”

“The cow is the purest type of sub-human life.”

“One must be a sea, to receive a polluted stream without becoming impure.”

“All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute; all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.”

“For after all, what is there behind, except money? Money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to Italy. Money writes books, money sells them. Give me not righteousness, O lord, give me money, only money.”

“Every hero is a Samson. The strong man succumbs to the intrigues of the weak and the many; and if in the end he loses all patience he crushes both them and himself.”

“The surest way to reveal one's character is not through adversity but by giving them power.”
