Repentance means that the sinner forsake his sins, cast them out of his mind, and resolve in his heart to sin no more.
- Maimonides

The immature think that knowledge and action are different, but the wise see them as the same. The person who is established in one path will attain the rewards of both. The goal of knowledge and the goal of service are the same; those who fail to see this are blind.
-Bhagavad Gita

Learn to look with an equal eye upon all things, seeing the one Self in all.
-Srimad Bhagavatam

If an account were kept of what we owe the Creator, no man would ever receive reward in the world to come. He will receive it only by divine grace.
-Bahya

From contact comes feeling. From feeling comes reaction. This is what keeps us in the cycle of birth and death. Our reactions to our feelings are our passport to rebirth.
-Ayya Khema

When an opportunity presents itself to do a good deed, do it at once.
-Rabbi Josiah

If you wish to understand yourself, you must succeed in doing so in the midst of all kinds of confusions and upsets. Don't make the mistake of sitting dead in the cold ashes of a withered tree.
-Emyo

Meditate on the Self.
One without two,
Exalted awareness.
Give up the illusion
Of the separate self.
Give up the feeling,
Within or without,
That you are this or that.
-Ashtavakra Gita
