We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.,Swami Vivekanand
When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
Man is not sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.
Heaven, in the production of things, is sure to be bountiful to them, according to their qualities. Hence the tree that is flourishing, it nourishes, while that which is ready to fall, it overthrows
You cannot teach a child any more than you can grow a plant. The plant develops its own nature. It also teaches itself, but you can help it to go forward in its own way. What you can do is to sow an aspiration-seed.
Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. Indeed, it is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.
