Gems from the Quran-4:

He is indeed successful who causeth the human soul to grow aright, and he is indeed a failure who stunteth and starveth it.  

Gems from Manu Smriti-1:

Let him say what is true, let him say what is pleasing, let him utter no disagreeable truth.  Let him utter no agreeable falsehood.  This is the Sanatana Dharma, the eternal law.

Gems from the Bhagavata-3:

Like the bee gathering honey from different flowers, the wise man accepts the essence of different scriptures and sees only the good in all religions.  

Gems from the Buddha-15:

It is the mind which gives to things their quality, their foundation and their being. Whosoever speaks or acts with impure mind, him sorrow follows, as the wheel follows the steps of the ox that draws the cart.

Gems from the Vedanta-21:

From the unreal, lead us to the real! From darkness, lead us to light! From death, lead us to immortality! - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

Gems from the Vedas-2:

Let noble thoughts come to us from every side - Rig Veda

Gems from the Quran-3:

He who slayeth anyone shall be as though he had slain all mankind; but he who saveth a life shall be as though he had saved all mankind alive.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-48:

Doing is very good, but that comes from thinking... Fill the brain, therefore, with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.

Gems from the Buddha-14:

Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-47:

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-46:

Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-45:

Whatever you are doing, put your whole mind on it. If you are shooting, your mind should be only on the target. Then you will never miss. If you are learning your lessons, think only of the lesson. In India boys and girls are taught to do this.

Gems from the Bible-24:

Search, you will find.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-44:

The first sign of your becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-43:

If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-42:

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-41:

The goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.

Gems from Swami Vivekananda-40:

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.

Gems from the Bible-23:

The truth shall make you free.
