Quotes of Swami Vivekanand

 I have decided to post one quote of Swami Vivekanand every day this year. I had thought of posting it on facebook. I  stayed away from social media in December. Specifically Facebook, and Twitter. And WhatsApp as much as possible. I am feeling good about staying away from social media. I would like it to continue for more time. So instead of posting on Facebook, I would post on my blog site.
