Chanakya

Chanakya
A wise man should marry a virgin of a respectable family even if she is deformed. He should not marry one of a low-class family, through beauty. Marriage in a family of equal status is preferable.
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
Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.
