More quotes by 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 friend, even if he be the enemy's son , should be protected.
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
As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.
Chanakya
What good is a cow that neither gives milk nor conceives? Similarly, what is the value of the birth of a son if he becomes neither learned nor a pure devotee of the Lord?
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
Rain which falls upon the sea is useless so is food for one who is satiated in vain is a gift for one who is wealthy and a burning lamp during the daytime is useless.
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
Avoid him who talks sweetly before you but tries to ruin you behind your back, for he is like a pitcher of poison with milk on top.
Chanakya
Virtuous persons and fruit-laden trees bow, but fools and dry sticks break because they do not bend.
Chanakya

Chanakya
They (low-minded) ones should never be trusted.
Chanakya
Moral excellence is an ornament for personal beauty righteous conduct, for high birth success for learning and proper spending for wealth.
Chanakya
Evil person causes harm even if treated will.
Chanakya
We should always speak what would please the man of whom we expect a favour,like the hunter who sings sweetly when he desires to shoot a deer.
Chanakya
Beauty is spoiled by an immoral nature noble birth by bad conduct learning, without being perfected and wealth by not being properly utilised.
Chanakya
How well u treat the wicked people, they do nto give up their wickedness. They derive pleasure in hurting others. A serpent made to drink milk, it ejects poison only.
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
Till the enemy's weakness is known , he should be kept on friendly terms.
