Swami Vivekananda on life and death

All that is real in me is God; all that is real in God is I. The gulf between God and me is thus bridged. Thus by knowing God, we find that the kingdom of heaven is within us.

Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.” Tell this to everyone⁠—“Have no fear.”

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
