Swami Vivekananda is a great monk and philosopher from India and considered as a jewel of the mother India. Swami travelled all over the world to understand the situation of the country men and his heart was melted after seeing the poor conditions of fellow Indians.

Swami always believed that the destiny of our country is in the hands of youth. He planted the seeds of courage and self-confidence in minds of the people with his courageous words. I think every student must read his quotes in their life at least once before their grown old.
1. ARISE AWAKE AND STOP NOT UNTILL THE GOAL IS REACHED.
2.STRENGTH IS LIFE AND WEAKNESS IS DEATH.
3.ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY WEAK REJECT IT AS A POISON.
4.BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND REST OF THE WORLD IS AT YOUR FEET.
5.ALL THE POWER IS WITHIN YOU, YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING.
6.THE GREATEST SIN IS TO BE THINKING YOURSELF ARE WEAK.
7.IN CONFLICT BETWEEN BRAIN AND HEART CHOOSE HEART.
8.ASK NOTHING; WANT NOTHING IN RETURN. GIVE WHAT YOUHAVE TO GIVE; IT WILL COME BACK TO YOU, BUT DO NOT THINK ABOUT IT NOW.
9.TAKE UP ONE IDEA. MAKE THAT ONE IDEA YOUR LIFE; DREAM OF IT; THINK OF IT; LIVE ON THAT IDEA. LET THE BRAIN, THE BODY, MUSCLES, NERVES, AND EVERY PART OF YOUR BODY BE FULL OF THAT IDEA, AND JUST LEAVE EVERY OTHER IDEA ALONE. THIS IS THE WAY TO SUCCESS, AND THIS IS THE WAY GREAT SPIRITUAL GIANTS ARE PRODUCED.
10.DO ONE THING AT A TIME, AND WHILE DOING IT PUT YOUR WHOLE SOUL INTO IT TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL ELSE.
11.THE WORLD IS READY TO GIVE UP ITS SECRETS IF WE ONLY KNOW HOW TO KNOCK, HOW TO GIVE IT THE NECESSARY BLOW. THE STRENGTH AND FORCE OF THE BLOW COME THROUGH CONCENTRATION.
12.EDUCATION IS THE MANIFESTATION OF PERFECTION ALREADY IN MAN.
13.THE ONLY TRUE TEACHER IS HE WHO CAN IMMEDIATELY COME DOWN TO THE LEVEL OF THE STUDENT.
14.YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR DESTINY.
15.WE ARE WHAT OUR THOUGHTS HAVE MADE US; SO, TAKE CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK. WORDS ARE SECONDARY. THOUGHTS LIVE; THEY TRAVEL FAR.
