"In search of wealth in this world, you are the only wealth I have found, I sacrifice myself unto you, God. In search of someone to be loved, you are the only beloved I have found, I sacrifice myself unto you, God." Let us repeat this day and night, and say, "Nothing for me, no matter whether the thing is good, bad or indifferent. I do not care for it. I sacrifice all unto God."
Swami Vivekannada : Class on Karma Yoga. New York, January 10, 1896. Complete Works, 1.102.

The more opposition there is, the better...
The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a thing is, the more opposition it will meet with at the outset. It is opposition which forestalls success. Where there is no opposition, there is no success either.
