More quotes by Chanakya
For the moon though one, dispels the darkness, which the stars, though numerous, do not.
Chanakya
My dear child, if you desire to be free from the cycle of birth and death, then abandon the objects of sense gratification as poison. Drink instead the nectar of forbearance, upright conduct, mercy, cleanliness and truth.
Chanakya
He who is prepared for the future and he who deals cleverly with any situation that may arise are both happy but the fatalistic man who wholly depends on luck is ruined.
Chanakya
A low-minded person should not be given good advice.
Chanakya
The Goddess of wealth is unsteady, and so is the life breath. The duration of life is uncertain, and the place of habitation is uncertain but in all this inconsistent world religious merit alone is immovable.
Chanakya
Till the enemy's weakness is known , he should be kept on friendly terms.
Chanakya

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
A person becomes great not be sitting on some high seat, but through higher qualities. Can a crow become an eagle by simply sitting on the top of a palatial building?
Chanakya

Chanakya
The ruler should employ person in tasks according to their abilities because Knowers ( or the means ) and efficient employees make impossible tasks also possible.
Chanakya
If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what is the value of other ornamentation?
Chanakya
He who shall practice these twenty virtues shall become invincible in all his undertakings.
Chanakya
The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.
Chanakya
A friend, even if he be the enemy's son , should be protected.
Chanakya
A father who is a chronic debtor, an adulterous mother, a beautiful wife, and an unlearned son are enemies in one's own home.
Chanakya
A 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.
Chanakya
Even as the unborn babe is in the womb of his mother, these five are fixed as his life destiny: his life span, his activities, his acquisition of wealth and knowledge, and his time of death.
