Swami Vivekananda

Nothing else is necessary but these - love, sincerity, and patience.

The fruit falls from the tree when it gets ripe. So wait for the time to come. Do not hurry. Moreover, no one has the right to make others miserable by his foolish acts. Wait, have patience, everything will come right in time.

Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.

Love conquers in the long run. It won't do to become impatient - wait, wait - patience is bound to give success. . . .

If you have infinite patience and perseverance, success is bound to come. No mistake in that.

The subtle are the causes, the gross the effects.

Where no bondage is, there is no cause and effect.

The cause being finite, the effect must be finite. If the cause is eternal the effect can be eternal, but all these causes, doing good work, and all other things, are only finite causes, and as such cannot produce infinite result.

The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.

One link in a chain explains the infinite chain.

Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.

Nothing can be produced without a cause, and the effect is but the cause reproduced.

No effect of work can be eternal.

Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.

Everything that we know is within our universe, and everything within our universe is moulded by the conditions of space, time, and causation.

All is bound by the law of causation

Man has wanted to look beyond, wanted to expand himself; and all that we call progress, evolution, has been always measured by that one search, the search for human destiny, the search for God.

Everything, both mental and physical, is rigidly bound by the law of causation.

No study has taken so much of human energy, whether in times past or present, as the study of the soul, of God, and of human destiny.

I have seen some astrologers who predicted wonderful things; but I have no reason to believe they predicted them only from the stars, or anything of the sort. In many cases it is simply mind-reading. Sometimes wonderful predictions are made, but in many cases it is arrant trash.

When we free ourselves from name and form, especially from a body - when we need no body, good or bad - then only do we escape from bondage.
