He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind – that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.

More from Swami Vivekananda
Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Be free.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda We have either to progress or to degenerate. Our ancestors did great things in the past, but we have to grow into a fuller life and march beyond even their great achievements.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Everyone goes with the flow. But the one who goes against the flow becomes someone remarkable in life.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Do not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Never say NO, Never say, ‘I cannot’, for you are INFINITE. All the power is WITHIN you. You can do anything.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda The man who gives way to anger, or hatred, or any other passion, cannot work; he only breaks himself to pieces, and does nothing practical. It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda By practice men can bring even the heart under control, until it will just beat at will, slowly, or quickly, or almost stop. Nearly every part of the body can be brought under control.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda You are incarnations of God, all of you. You are incarnations of the Almighty, Omnipresent, Divine Principle. You may laugh at me now, but the time will come when you will understand. You must. Nobody will be left behind.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda He who struggles is better than he who never attempts.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda We cannot see outside what we are not inside. The universe is to us what the huge engine is to the miniature engine; and indication of any error in the tiny engine leads us to imagine trouble in the huge one.
Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda Mind you, there is no value in learning. You are all mistaken in learning. The only value of knowledge is in the strengthening, the disciplining, of the mind.
