==Famous Quotes==
{{Wikiquote}}
* You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
* Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship or psychic control, or philosophy—by one, or more, or all of these—and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.
* So long as even a single dog in my country is without food my whole religion is to feed it and serve it, anything excluding that is unreligious.
* Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached.
* Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.
* Religion is the manifestation of the divinity already in man.
* Civilization is the manifestation of the natural strength in man.
* Service to man is the true service to God.
* to stir up the religious awareness of the masses and generate pride in their legacy.
* to amalgamate Hinduism by highlighting the common bases of its sects.
* to focus the attention of educated people on the plight of the oppressed masses, and to elaborate his plans for their uplift by applying the principles of Practical Vedanta.
* Strength is life, Weakness is death.
* The brain and muscles must develop simultaneously. Iron nerves with an intelligent brain—and the whole world is at your feet.
