We are on strike, we, the men of the mind.We are on strike against self-immolation. We are on strike against the creed of unearned rewards and unrewarded duties. We are on strike against the dogma that the pursuit of one's happiness is evil. We are on strike against the doctrine that life is guilt.

You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself - without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat.

I still encourage anyone who feels at all compelled to write to do so. I just try to warn people who hope to get published that publication is not all it is cracked up to be. But writing is. Writing has so much to give, so much to teach, so many surprises. That thing you had to force yourself to do---the actual act of writing---turns out to be the best part. It's like discovering that while you thought you needed the tea ceremony for the caffeine, what you really needed was the tea ceremony. The act of writing turns out to be its own reward.

True happiness is not found in any other reward than that of being united with God. If I seek some other reward besides God Himself, I may get my reward but I cannot be happy.

Joy is the ultimate reward in life.

Your greatest obstacles usher you to your greatest rewards.

God always estimates how diligent a person is to his work.

You will eat from where you work with all your strength

Don't expect a reward for what you do, from people, rather what matters is how you walk and are valued by God

Your work may not be noticed by people, but there is One Who sees everything you are doing

no matter how little it might seem, if you are doing it for the Lord and you are doing it with a pure heart, it is not a waste of time

Joy is the reward of life

The reward of life is Joy

You need to set a system of rewards and punishment for yourself and your team

Establish a system of rewards and punishments

God goes ahead of a man who walks by faith, that is the beauty of faith

The focus on the desired outcome will push you through every difficulty.

Every kind of reward constitutes a degradation of energy.

He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
