HITOPADESA
a story from Sanskrit literature

A bad man is like an earthen vessel,--easy to break, and hard to mend. A good man is like a golden vessel, hard to break, and easy to mend.
      - [Goodness]

Riches in their acquisition bring pain and suffering, in their loss manifold trouble and sorrow, in their possession a wild intoxication. How can we say that they confer happiness?
      - [Riches]

The tree of the world hath its poisons, but beareth two fruits of exquisite flavor, the nectar of poetry and the society of noble men.
      - [World]

There exists no cure for a heart wounded with the sword of separation.
      - [Separation]
