"Work unto death! I am with you,..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.”

“There is implanted in every man, naturally, a strong desire for progress.”

“Through the imparting of moral principles, good behaviour, and education we must make the Chandala come up to the level of the Brahmana.”

“Every piece of work in the shops moves. Save 10 steps a day for each of the 12,000 employees, and you will have saved 50 miles of wasted motion and misspent energy.”

“Any relation to the land, the habit of tilling it, or mining it, or even hunting on it, generates the feeling of patriotism. He who keeps shop on it, or he who merely uses it as a support to his desk and ledger, or to his manufactory, values it less.”

“The humblest observer who goes to the mines sees and says that gold-digging is of the character of a lottery; the gold thus obtained is not the same thing with the wages of honest toil. But, practically, he forgets what he has seen, for he has seen only the fact, not the principle, and goes into trade there, that is, buys a ticket in what commonly proves another lottery, where the fact is not so obvious.”

“In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.”

“Compulsory obedience to a master is a state of slavery, willing obedience to one's father is the glory of son ship.”

“Unjust war is to be abhorred; but woe to the nation that does not make ready to hold its own in time of need against all who would harm it! And woe thrice over to the nation in which the average man loses the fighting edge, loses the power to serve as a soldier if the day of need should arise!”
