Generosity, pleasing address, courage and propriety of conduct are not acquired, but are inbred qualities.
ChanakyaA man attains greatness by his merits, not simply by occupying an exalted seat. Can we call a crow an eagle (garuda) simply because he sits on the top of a tall building.
ChanakyaTreat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.
ChanakyaDo not put your trust in rivers, men who carry weapons, beasts with claws or horns, women, and members of a royal family.
