More quotes by Chanakya

Chanakya
Enemies strike at weak points.
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

As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.
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
Time perfects men as well as destroys them.
Chanakya
An enemy should be struck at his weak point.
Chanakya
He 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.
Chanakya
Books are as useful to a stupid person as a mirror is useful to a blind person.
Chanakya
The cuckoos remain silent for a long time (for several seasons) until they are able to sing sweetly (in the Spring) so as to give joy to all.
Chanakya
O wise man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.
