Strength is Life, Weakness is Death

Arise awake stop not till the goal is reached

Despondency is not religion,
what ever else it may be, by bing
Pleasant always and smiling. It takes
you nearer to GOD, nearer than any Prayer.

--
It is impossible to find GOD outside
of our selves. We are the Greatest temples.

You have to grow from inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

--
You cannot teach a child any more than you can grow a plant. All you can do is on the negative side - you can only help. It is a manifestation from within; it develops its own nature - you can only take away obstructions.

He is an atheist who does not believe in himself. The old religion said that he was an atheist who does not believe in God. The new religion says that he is an atheist who does not believe in himself.

Help if you can; if you cannot, fold your hands and stand by and see things go on. Do not injure, if you cannot render help.

Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master. Avoid this jealousy, and you will do great works that have yet to be done.

All Love is Expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who Loves lives, he who is selfish is dying.

You must give your body, mind and speech to the welfare of the world. You have read - 'Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava:- Look upon your mother as God, look upon your father as God',
But i say, 'Daridra Devo Bahava, Murkha Devo Bhava:- the poor, the illetrate, the ignorant, the afficted-let these be your God'. Know that service to these alone is highest religion.

If you do not allow one to become a Lion, he will become a Fox.

We think that we have helped some men and expect him to thank us, and because he does not, unhappiness comes to us. Why should we expect anything in return for what we do? Be grateful to the man you help, think of him as God. Is it not a great privilege to be allowed to worship God by helping our fellow men?
it is the level-headed man, the calm man, of good judgment and cool nerves, of great sympathy and love, who does good work and so does good to himself.

--
Our woman are not so learned, but they are more pure. To every woman, every man, expect her husband, should be as her son. to every man, every woman, except his own wife, Should be as his mother.

--
All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak. Stand up and express the divinity within you.

--
Never mind of failures, they are quite natural; they are the beauty of life-these failures. What would life be without them? it would not be worth having if it were not for struggles. Where would be the poetry of life? Never mind the struggles, I never heard a cow tell a lie, but it is only a cow -never a man. So never mind these failures, this little back sliding; holds the idea of a thousand times; and if you fail thousand times, and make the attempt once more.

Nice quotes of Swami Vivekananda. However, the portion from "When I asked God for strength..." to "He gave me everything I needed" is not from Swamiji. Neither is the quote about losing the girlfriend. The other quotes seem to be genuine.
