      Here are some famous quotes of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita: 

   1.   "Be steadfast in yoga. O Arjuna. Perform your duty and abandon all attachment to success or failure. Such evenness of mind is called yoga."

     

 2.   " It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection."

  3. "Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed." 

  

  4.  "The one who has control over the mind, the mind is their best friend; for one who has failed to do so, their mind will remain the greatest enemy." 

   

5.    "Action is the fruit of desire and every desire has an end. Do your duty, and have no attachment to the fruits of your actions."

   

6.   "The wise see knowledge and action as one; they see truly and they see correctly."

 7.   "Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."

 8.  "One who is not affected by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation."

    

  9.  "Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as an embryo is covered by the womb, the intelligence of the wise is covered by their own passions."

 10.    "One who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires — that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still — can alone attain peace, and not the man who is constantly struggling on the tumultuous waves of desires." 

11.    "You have a right to your actions, but never to your actions’ fruits. Act for the action’s sake. And do not be attached to not doing." 

 

  12.   "The mind is everything; what you think, you become." 

13.  "The happiness which comes from long practice, which leads to the end of suffering, which at first is like poison, but at last like nectar—this type of happiness arises from the serenity of one's own mind."

 

14.     "In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism." 

 15.    "The one who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men."
