Some Points by Chanakya
One has to toil very hard to get water from the depth of the earth; similarly a student should toil and render strenuous service to his guru to get knowledge from him.
Virtue is adored everywhere, not wealth and excess.
Virtue gleams in a wise person like a gem embedded in gold.
Truth is my mother, knowledge is my father, Dharma is my brother, compassion is my friend, peace is my wife and forgiveness is my son. These six virtues are my true relatives.
It is the virtue,which enchances one's stature, not the high posistion. Even if perched atop a royal palace, a crow cannot become a Garuda.
Great men do not attach importance to the riches but as they grow rich with the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, they become more humble.
Even the Meru mountain may be displaced during end of Yuga, and the seven seas may be disturbed at the end of Kalpa, but the noble men never deviate from thier chosen path.
The Tree of the world bears two fruit filled with nectar: sweet speech and good company.
One must save money for the bad days because riches by nature are fickle even the large wealth can be lost in a second.
