  • The householder must always please his wife with money, clothes, love and faith and never do anything to disturb her. That man who has succeeded in getting the love of a chaste wife has succeeded in his religion and has all the virtues.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Karma Yoga: The Yoga of Action”, p.15, Advaita Ashrama
  • Cowardice is no virtue.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2044, Manonmani Publishers
  • Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. So we must not seek to rob a nation of its character, even if it could be proved that the character was all faults.

    Men  
    Swami Vivekananda (1964). “Complete Works”
  • To injure another creates bondage and hides the truth. Negative virtues are not enough; we have to conquer Maya, and then she will follow us. We only deserve things when they cease to bind us. When the bondage ceases, really and truly, all things come to us. Only those who want nothing are masters of nature.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.3176, Manonmani Publishers
  • No one should be judged by their defects. The great virtues a person has are his or her especially. But their errors are the common weakness of humanity and should never be counted in estimating a person’s character.

  • Here lies the secret. Says Patanjali, the father of Yoga, "When a man rejects all the superhuman powers, then he attains to the cloud of virtue." He sees God. He becomes God and helps others to become the same. This is all I have to preach. Doctrines have been expounded enough. There are books by the million. Oh, for an ounce of practice!

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.3828, Manonmani Publishers
  • Dâna, charity. There is no higher virtue than charity. The lowest man is he whose hand draws in, in receiving; and he is the highest man whose hand goes out in giving. The hand was made to give always. Give the last bit of bread you have even if you are starving. You will be free in a moment if you starve yourself to death by giving to another. Immediately you will be perfect, you will become God.

  • Whenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart.

    Dave DeLuca, Swami Vivekananda (2006). “Pathways to Joy: The Master Vivekananda on the Four Yoga Paths to God”, p.178, New World Library
  • The Buddhist tenet, "Non-killing is supreme virtue", is very good, but in trying to enforce it upon all by legislation without paying any heed to the capacities of the people at large, Buddhism has brought ruin upon India.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2368, Manonmani Publishers
  • Strength and manliness are virtue; weakness and cowardice are sin.

    Swami Vivekananda “My Idea of Education”, Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)
  • By work alone, men may get to where Buddha got largely by meditation or Christ by prayer. Buddha was a working Jnani, Christ was a Bhakta, but the same goal was reached by both of them. Good motives, sincerity, and infinite love can conquer the world. One single soul possessed of these virtues can destroy the dark designs of millions of hypocrites and brutes.

  • There is no virtue higher than non-injury.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.175, Manonmani Publishers
  • The more we grow in Love, Virtue and Holiness, the more we see Love, Virtue and Holiness outside.

  • There is, however, only one idea of duty which has been universally accepted by all mankind, of all ages and sects and countries, and that has been summed up in a Sanskrit aphorism thus: "Do not injure any being; not injuring any being is virtue, injuring any being is sin."

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Karma Yoga: The Yoga of Action”, p.31, Advaita Ashrama
  • The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Personality Development”, p.28, Advaita Ashrama
