Stand up and be strong! No fear. No superstition. Face the truth as it is! - Swami Vivekananda

As soon as I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep it nice, at the expense of other bodies; then you and I become separate.

The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength. Teach men of strength that is already within them.

I fervently wish no misery ever came near anyone; yet it is that alone that gives us an insight into the depths of our lives, does it not? In our moments of anguish, gates barred forever seem to open and let in many a flood of light.
