Description:


A spiritual genius of commanding intellect and power, Vivekananda crammed immense labor and achievement into his short life, 1863-1902. Born in the Datta family of Kolkata, the youthful Vivekananda embraced the agnostic philosophies of the Western mind along with the worship of science. (Reference)




Swami Vivekanand's Quotes:


When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state. 


Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true. 

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


All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything. 

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark. 

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

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

External nature is only internal nature writ large.

Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished

Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future.


Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

Albert Einstein's Quotes:


All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. 

Imagination is more important than knowledge. 

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. 

Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish. 

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. 

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.   

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. 

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. 

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either. 

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. 

A question that sometimes drives me lazy: am I or are the others crazy?

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.

Not everything that can be counted counts. Not everything that counts can be counted.
