Every soldier must know what he has to do and why he should do it. Under battle conditions, he knows how he must act. That is the reason a good general briefs his troops prior to battle.
Mahabharata
The boasting of the vain resembles the roar of autumn clouds.
Upanishads
If we call him the Father of all, then why do we not realize our brotherhood?
Hinduism
Knowledge bereft of speech is naught but meaningless sound.
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
Salutations to Brahman. Salutations to God in the fire. Salutations to the God in the earth. Salutations to the God in the plants. Salutations to the God in speech. Salutations to the Lord of speech, I offer my salutations to the supreme Being, the all-pervading Spirit.
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to the Omnipotent Lord.
Sri Lalita Sahasranama
Om stana - bhara dalan - madhya - patta - bandha - vali - trayayai namah. Salutations to Her whose waist, breaking under the weight of Her breasts, gets a supporting belt in the three folds of Her abdomen.
Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
O Lord of Bhavani! O Bestower of gooD! Give up the thought that Thy feet are so tender and my heart so hard. If it were so, how dost Thou travel on the mountain (where Thou hast to tread on hard rocks)?
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
The Spouse of Uma. Om umapataye namah Siva and Sakti are inseparable.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
