Restlessness and contentment cannot do hand in hand. The ambitious man is restless. He seeks success here, there, everywhere. The contended man looks into his own heart and finds total peace.
Mahabharata
The greatest enemy is one with sweet words on the tongue and black hate in the heart.
Upanishads
Rivers lose their identity by submerging in the ocean. Men lose their differences by submerging in Him.
Hinduism
Would a thief threatened with death tell the truth about his misdeeds?
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
Thou art the Self of all, O Lord of all and the indweller of all beings. What then shall I speak unto Thee who knowest my inmost thoughts?
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to Him who is the inexhaustible Treasure.
Sri Lalita Sahasranama

Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
O Lord! Thou Resident of the Mountain! Thou the Primeval Hunter! Go not hither and thither, but reside within me alone. For in the forest of my mind there are many beasts of prey like envy, infatuation and the rest. Killing them, Thou shalt satisfy Thy fondness for the hunt.
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
Om sarva bhavanaya namah Adoration to Him who manifests and maintains all.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
The hour has come when a choice has to be made, radical and definite. Lord, give us the strength to reject falsehood and emerge in Thy Victory.
