Great occasions rouse even the lowest of human beings to some kind of greatness, but he alone is the really great man whose character is great always, the same wherever he be.

Every human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.

Let me draw your attention to one thing which unfortunately we always forget: that is - "O man, have faith in yourself."

Shri Ramakrishna use to say, "As Long as I Live, so long do I learn". That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.

It is faith that makes a lion of a man.

Proselytism is tolerated by Hinduism. Any man, whether he be a Shudra or Chandala, can expound philosophy even to a Brahmin. The truth can be learnt from the lowest individual, no matter to what caste or creed he belongs.

Each man must begin where he stands, must learn how to control the things that are nearest to him.

All progress and power are already in every man; perfection is man's nature, only it is barred in and prevented from taking its proper course.

Each man is perfect by his nature; prophets have manifested this perfection, but it is potential in us.
