A collection of mind control quotes from Hindu scriptures.
Charity, discharge of one’s duties, tranquillity of the mind and the senses, study of scriptures, various kinds of rituals and vows—all these have control of the mind as their one object. Subjugation of the mind is samadhi. It is the highest yoga. (Bhagavata, 11.23.46)

Doubtless, O mighty-armed, the mind is intractable and
restless; but by practice and detachment, O son of Kunti, it can be controlled.
Bhagavadgita, (6.35)
If the intellect, being related to a distracted mind, loses
its discrimination and therefore always remains impure, then the embodied soul
never attains the goal, but enters into the rounds of births. (Katha Upanishad, 1.3.7)
If the intellect, being related to a mind that is
restrained, possesses discrimination and therefore always remains pure, then the
embodied soul attains that goal from which one is not born again. (Katha Upanishad, 1.3.8)
