Bhagavad Geeta 2.66

Sanskrit

नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य न चायुक्तस्य भावना। न चाभावयतः शान्तिरशान्तस्य कुतः सुखम्।।2.66।।

nāsti buddhir-ayuktasya na chāyuktasya bhāvanā na chābhāvayataḥ śhāntir aśhāntasya kutaḥ sukham

Meaning

Master your focus first. Without mental stability, strategy fails, clarity vanishes, and lasting success becomes impossible. Peace precedes performance.

Translation

For the unsteady there is no wisdom, and there is no meditation for the unsteady person. And for an unmeditative person there is no peace. How can there be happiness for one without peace?
