Quote by Bhagavad Gita (250 BC-250)

• On action alone be thy interest,
  Never on its fruits.
  Let not the fruits of action be thy motive,
  Nor be thy attachment to inaction.

• As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve his purpose.

• For certain is death for the born
  And certain is birth for the dead;
  Therefore over the inevitable
  Thou shouldst not grieve.
