Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power, and they fill the universe. As vibration continues, so thought remains in the form of thought until translated into action. For example, force is latent in the arm until he strikes a blow, when he translates it into activity. We are the heirs of good and evil thought. If we make ourselves pure and the instruments of good thoughts, these will enter us. The good soul will not be receptive to evil thoughts.

QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 32
The main difference between men and the animals is the difference in their power of concentration. All success in any line of work is the result of this. ….. The difference in the power of concentration also constitutes the difference between man and man. Compare the lowest with the highest man. The difference is in the degree of concentration.
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 34
What work you do except from the men of little hearts? Nothing in the world! You must have an iron will if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 33
Ninety percent of thought-force is wasted by the ordinary human being, therefore he is constantly committing blunders; the trained man or mind never makes a mistake.
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 31
Free! We, who cannot, for a moment, govern our own minds, nay, cannot hold our minds on a subject, focus, it on a point to the exclusion of everything else, for a moment! Yet we call ourselves free. Think of it!.....The mind uncontrolled and unguided will drag us down, down, forever - rend us, kill us; and the mind controlled and guided will save us, free us.

QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 30
No force can be created; it can only be directed. Therefore, we must learn to control the grand powers that are already in our hands, and by will power make them spiritual, instead of animal. Thus it is clearly seen that chastity is the cornerstone of all morality and of all religions.
QUOTES FROM SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 29
How has all the knowledge in the world been gained but the concentration of the powers of mind? The world is ready to give its secrets, if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through concentration. There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentration it is, the more power is brought to bean on one point; that is the secret.
