More quotes by Chanakya
People's Fury is above all the furies.
Chanakya
Eschew 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.
Chanakya
Do not put your trust in a bad companion nor even trust an ordinary friend, for if he should get angry with you, he may bring all your secrets to light.
Chanakya
He who befriends a man whose conduct is vicious, whose vision impure, and who is notoriously crooked, is rapidly ruined.
Chanakya
Sometimes coincidentally an unintelligent person can accomplish a task but that does not mean that he is a knower of means and device or is experienced. A ruler should be careful enough to designate other tasks to such persons.
Chanakya

Chanakya
It is better to live under a tree in a jungle inhabited by tigers and elephants, to maintain oneself in such a place with ripe fruits and spring water, to lie down on grass and to wear the ragged barks of trees than to live amongst one's relations when reduced to poverty.
Chanakya
Whores don’t live in company of poor men, citizens never support a weak company and birds don’t build nests on a tree that doesn’t bear fruits.
Chanakya
He who gives up shyness in monetary dealings, in acquiring knowledge, in eating and in business, becomes happy.
Chanakya
Love is indicated by deeds (and not by words)
Chanakya
A low-minded person should not be given good advice.
Chanakya
He shall despise none, but hear the opinions of all. A wise man shall make use of even a child's sensible utterance.
Chanakya
A still-born son os 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.
Chanakya
The 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.
Chanakya
Learning is a friend on the journey a wife in the house medicine in sickness and religious merit is the only friend after death.
