He who can withstand in this world, before the liberation from the body, the impulse arising from lust and anger, he is steadfast, he is a happy man. Lord Krishna
He whose intellect is unattached everywhere, who has subdued his heart, whose desires have fled, he attains by renunciation to the supreme perfection, consisting of freedom from action. Lord Krishna
Objects fall away from the abstinent man, leaving the longing behind. But his longing also ceases, who sees the Supreme. Lord Krishna
He who has reached the consummation, who does not tremble, who is without thirst and without sin, he has broken all the thorns of life: this will be his last body. Buddha
If a man is tossed about by doubts, full of strong passions, and yearning only for what is delightful, his thirst will grow more and more, and he will indeed make his fetters strong. Buddha
