By Swami Vivekananda

• Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, and live on that idea. This is the way to success.
• We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
• 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. Therefore love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live
• The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong
• Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true
• First, believe in the world—that there is meaning behind everything.
• This life is a hard fact; work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger.
• All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.
• Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to know
