The Hitopadesa QUOTES

1 " This is mine, and this is not -
Thus do the small-minded see.
The large-hearted have always thought
The world itself a family. "

― , The Hitopadesa

3 " When the leader passes over all alike, not making a distinction, then the endeavors of those who are capable of exertion are entirely lost. "

― , The Hitopadesa

5 " The fool may even look distinguished
If dressed well, in Council Hall;
And this impression's not extinguished
As long as he does not speak at all. "
