As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea, so different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to God. 
Swami Vivekananda 

Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way. 
Swami Vivekananda 

External nature is only internal nature writ large. 
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda 

That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.

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

The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that. 
Swami Vivekananda 

The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free. 
Swami Vivekananda 

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong. 
Swami Vivekananda 

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

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far. 
Swami Vivekananda 

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