Swami Vivekananda quotes

“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.

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

“Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.”
