"Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day!

For it is Life, the very Life of Life.

In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence.

The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty;

For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision;

But To-day well lived makes

every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,

And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.

Look well therefore to this Day!

Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!"

-- Kalidas

***Also there were many quote which always influence me ... some of them are

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
-- Patanjali

"A baby born with a billion dollars--where is the personal merit in that? A baby born with nothing--where isthe personal demerit in that? The one is fawned upon, admired,worshiped, by sycophants, the other is neglected and despised--where is the sense in it?"
--What Is Man? Mark Twain

"When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the heart, it becomes wisdom. When that wisdom is integrated with life and issues out in action, it becomes devotion. Knowledge which has become mature is spoken of as devotion.
If it does not get transformed into devotion, such knowledge is useless and tinsel."
-Rajagopalachari

Sastry,

When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the heart, it becomes wisdom. When that wisdom is integrated with life and issues out in action, it becomes devotion. Knowledge which has become mature is spoken of as devotion.
If it does not get transformed into devotion, such knowledge is useless and tinsel.


This was quoted by Rajagopalachari aka Rajaji, in his introduction to Bhaja Govindam by Adi Sankaracharya. So the quote was by Rajaji and NOT Sri Sankara
