An egoist can be won over by being respected, a crazy person can be won over by allowing him to behave in an insane manner and a wise person can be won over by truth.
CHANAKYAAn egoist can be won over by being respected, a crazy person can be won over by allowing him to behave in an insane manner and a wise person can be won over by truth.
CHANAKYAProsperity lasts long for one who acts after proper consideration.
CHANAKYAA person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.
CHANAKYAThe world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.
CHANAKYAIf one limb of the body is defected or inflicted with, disease, the whole feels that pain. Some way if any department, minister or official of the state is faulty, the whole country is effected. An administrator should try hard to curb it.
CHANAKYAA thing may be dreaded as long as it has not overtaken you.
CHANAKYAA still-born son is superior to a foolish son endowed with a long life. The first causes grief for but a moment while the latter like a blazing fire consumes his parents in grief for life.
CHANAKYAA ruler wishing to win should not trust a captured enemy even if he may be extending had to be friend. Because deep rooted enmity, however, concealed, will surely come to light.
CHANAKYAWealth, a friend, a wife, and a kingdom may be regained; but this body when lost may never be acquired again.
CHANAKYADon’t judge the future of a person based on his present conditions, because time has the power to change black coal to shiny diamond.
CHANAKYAA wicked wife, a false friend, a saucy servant and living in a house with a serpent in it are nothing but death.
CHANAKYAThe serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child, the dog owned by other people, and the fool: these seven ought not to be awakened from sleep.
CHANAKYASinfully acquired wealth may remain for ten years; in the eleventh year it disappears with even the original stock.
CHANAKYADo not put your trust in rivers, men who carry weapons, beasts with claws or horns, women, and members of a royal family.
CHANAKYAA man attains greatness by his merits, not simply by occupying an exalted seat. Can we call a crow an eagle simply because he sits on the top of a tall building?
CHANAKYAThere are three gems upon this earth; food, water, and pleasing words – fools consider pieces of rocks as gems.
