Flashes from Swami Vivekananda - 1

Man is the highest being that exists.

We cannot see outside what we are not inside.

All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves.

No action can give you freedom, only self-knowledge can.

Hold your money merely as custodian for what is God's.

Be in the world, but not of it, like the lotus leaf.

It is our privilege to be allowed to be charitable, for only so can we grow.

Truth must have no compromise.

No man should be judged by his defects.

Never lose faith in yourself, you can do anything in the universe.

Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.
