INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS

"This is a great fact: strength is life; weakness is death.  Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal; Weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death."                                           -Swami Vivekananda

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS

"To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. "I will drink the ocean" says the persevering soul; "at my will mountains will crumble up.'' Have that sort of energy, that sort of will; work hard, and you will reach the goal."                                               -Swami Vivekananda

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS

"You  are the children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings.  You  divinities on earth-sinners? It is a sin to call a man so; It is standing libel on human nature.   Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep; You are souls immortal, spirits free, blessed and eternal; You are not matter, YOU are not bodies; matter is Your servant, not YOU the servant of matter."                                                 -Swami Vivekananda

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS

"He is an atheist who does not believe in himself. The old religion said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is an atheist who does not believe in himself."                                                  -Swami Vivekananda

Today's word/phrase

A ROUND ROBIN: It is a petition or protest signed in such a way that no name heads the list.  The signatures are placed in circular form, so that no one can say who signed the petition first.  The device is French, and the term is a corruption or rond (round), ruban (a ribbon).  It was first adopted by officers of Government as a means of making known their grievances.
