7 Swami Vivekananda Quotes on Perseverance

Swami Vivekananda quotes on perseverance

5. Arise, Awake and Stop not till the Goal is Reached.

6. 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.

8. Never mind failures; they are quite natural, they are the beauty of life, these failures. What would life be without them? It would not be worth having if it were not for struggles. Where would be the poetry of life? Never mind the struggles, the mistakes. I never heard a cow tell a lie, but it is only a cow -- never a man. So never mind these failures, these little backslidings; hold the ideal a thousand times, and if you fail a thousand times, make the attempt once more.

11. Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.

55. Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.

73. Don't look back-forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience-then alone can great deeds be accomplished.

104. It is the cheerful mind that is persevering. It is the strong mind that hews its way through a thousand difficulties.
