Rain which falls upon the sea is useless; so is food for one who is satiated; in vain is a gift for one who is wealthy; and a burning lamp during the daytime is useless.
ChanakyaThere is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.
ChanakyaDo not be very upright in your dealings for you would see by going to the forest that straight trees are cut down while crooked ones are left standing.
ChanakyaThe poor wish for wealth; animals for the faculty of speech; men wish for heaven; and godly persons for liberation.
