"Face the brutes." That is a lesson for all life — face the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease… - Swami Vivekananda

Let positive, strong, helpful thoughts enter into your brains from very childhood. Lay yourselves open to these thoughts, and not to weakening and paralysing ones.

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.

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
