Gems from the Bhagavata-1 :
"That ear into which words dealing with the Lord's excellence have not entered, is a mere cavity and nothing more. He whose perverse tongue has never uttered the Lord's names and praises, is verily as despicable as the tongue of a frog."
(Srimad Bhagavata (II.3.20)

Gems from the Bhagavad Gita-5: Work and its results
To work alone you have the right, but never claim its results. Let not the results of actions be your motive, nor be attached to inaction. (Bhagwan Shri Krishna to Arjuna: Chapter II:47 )
