"Look back.. as far as you can, drink deep of the eternal fountains that are behind, and after that, look forward, march forward and make India brighter, greater, much higher than she ever was.. We must learn the elements of our being, the blood that courses in our veins; we must have faith in that blood and what it did in the past; and out of that faith and consciousness of past greatness, we must build an India yet greater than what she has been.. There have been periods of decay and degradation.. Out of this decay is coming the India of the future.."

(The Future of India, Lectures from Colombo to Almora - The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda)
