Srimad Bhagavatam
One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of body from the very beginning of life, in other words, from the tender age of childhood, to practice the activities of devotional service, giving up all other engagements. The human body is most rarely achieved and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The mercy of Krishna and rendering of devotional service, all these help one give up the association of non-devotees and material opulence awarded by the external energy, Maya. A pure devotee is never attracted by material opulence, for he understands that wasting time to acquire material opulence is a misuse of the gift of human life.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
We should always remember that our body is not for sense gratification, it is for Krishna’s service only. To render very good service to Krishna we should not neglect the upkeep of the body.
Srimad Bhagavatam
We should know in perfect consciousness that human life is bestowed upon the conditioned soul to achieve spiritual success and the easiest possible procedure to attain this end is to chant the holy name of the Lord.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
When a Krishna Conscious person is elevated to a responsible position, he never becomes puffed up. Just like a tree, when over laden with fruits, becomes humble and lower down, similarly a great soul in Krishna Consciousness becomes humbler than the grass and bows down like the fruitful trees because a Krishna Conscious person acts as the agent of Krishna, therefore he discharges his duty with great responsibility.
