The mother and the father are the causes of this body; so a man must undergo a thousand troubles in order to do good to them. - Swami Vivekananda

Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you, but do not think of that now.

Believe in yourself and the world will be at your feet.

The only religion that ought to be taught is the religion of fearlessness. Either in this world or in the world of religion, it is true that fear is the sure cause of degradation and sin. It is fear that brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil. And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.
