Faith and trust can move mountains. Faith can help a person analyse problems to come up with the right reason. Faith can sound a warning bell when common sense fails to show the way. Faith acts as a beacon when all else is dark.
Mahabharata
The counsel of those with vested interest should be analysed carefully.
Upanishads
The senses are to the body as horses to a charior.
Hinduism
Why do you pour fuel onto ashes instead of blazing fire?
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
Obeisance to Thee, O lord of the universe. Thou art the soul and the maker of the universe. Thou art the universal enjoyer. Thou again art the universal life. Thou verily art the author of this sport of the universe.
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to the Maker of all beings.
Sri Lalita Sahasranama
Om sarv arunayai namah. Salutations to Her who is rose - hued all over.
Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
In this world, many are the minor deities who bestow paltry rewards. I ddo not, even in dream, attach any importance either to them or to their worship or to the results accruing from it. O Lord, O Thou bestower of happiness and the embodiment of all goodness! For long have I been praying for Thy lotus feet, which are difficult of attainment even for divinities like Vishnu and Brahma who live in close proximity to Thee.
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
The Omniscient. Om sarvajnaya namah There is nothing beyond the ken of Siva.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
The right attitude is to be devoted and given to the Mother and to wish to be whatever she wants you to be. The rest is for the Mother to decide and do in you.
