Gems from Swami Chidbhavananda-4:

He who knows the value of time has known the secret of life.

Gems from Thirukkural-2:

That lore is vain which does not fall

At His good feet who knoweth all.

Translated by Yogi Shuddhananda Bharati

Gems from the Bhagavad Gita-12:

Action is superior to inaction. Hence perform your prescribed duties with detachment.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-16:

All the strength and succour you want is within yourselves. Therefore make your own future. ‘Let the dead past bury its dead.’ The infinite future is before you, and you must always remember that each word, thought, and deed, lays up a store for you and that, as the bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring upon you like tigers, so also there is the inspiring hope that the good thoughts and good deeds are ready with the power of a hundred thousand angels to defend you always and for ever.

Gems from Paramahamsa Yogananda-3:

Anxiety and Stress:

The disturbance of mental equilibrium, which results in nervous disorders, is caused by continutous states of excitement or excessive stimulation of the senses. Indulgence in constant thoughts of fear, anger, melancholy, remorse, envy, sorrow, hatred, discontent, or worry; and lack of the necessities for normal happy living, such as right food, proper exercise, fresh air, sunshine, agreeable work and purpose in life, all are the causes of nervous disease.
