The devil comes in many guises-anger in the form of justice-passion in the form of duty. When it first comes, the man knows and then he forgets. Just as your pleaders' conscience; at first they know it is all Badmashi (roguery), then it is duty to their clients; at last they get hardened.

Anger, Passion, Men
Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2607, Manonmani Publishers

No great work can be achieved by humbug. It is through love, a passion for truth, and tremendous energy, that all undertakings are accomplished.

Swami Vivekananda
Inspirational, Motivational, Passion
Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2851, Manonmani Publishers

God is the one goal of all our passions and emotions. If you want to be angry, be angry with Him. Chide your Beloved, chide your Friend. Whom else can you safely chide? Mortal man will not patiently put up with your anger; there will be a reaction. If you are angry with me I am sure quickly to react, because I cannot patiently put up with your anger. Say unto the Beloved, "Why do You not come to me; why do You leave me thus alone?" Where is there any enjoyment but in Him? What enjoyment can there be in little clods of earth?

Swami Vivekananda
Anger, Passion, Men
Swami Vivekananda (1962). “What Religion is: In the Words of Swami Vivekananda”
