It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment's grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one's life.
ChanakyaHe who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.
ChanakyaEschew wicked company and associate with saintly persons. Acquire virtue day and night, and always meditate on that which is eternal forgetting that which is temporary.
ChanakyaHe shall despise none, but hear the opinions of all. A wise man shall make use of even a child's sensible utterance.
