A collection of Bharavi quotes.
A woman will not throw away a garland, though soiled, which her lover gave: not in the object lies a present’s worth, but in the love which it was meant to mark.
The noble minded dedicate themselves to the promotion of the happiness of others – even of those who injure them. True happiness consists in making happy.
The undertaking of a careless man succeeds not, though he used the right expedients: a clever hunter, though well place in ambush, kills not his quarry if he falls asleep.
The enemies – evil passions – which rise within the body are hard to overcome. These passions should be manfully fought – he who conquers these is equal to the conquerors of worlds.
Just as the lotus blooms in muddy waters, wisdom arises from
difficult times.
The mind, when disciplined, becomes the charioteer of one's
destiny.
Like the sun, truth shines brightest when unclouded by
falsehood.
In the garden of life, cultivate the flowers of kindness and
the fruits of knowledge.
The true warrior conquers not just with strength of arms,
but with strength of character.
Patience is the key that unlocks the door to success.
The greatest wealth is contentment; the greatest poverty is
discontentment.
Words are like arrows; once released, they cannot be called
back.
To understand others, first seek to understand yourself.
In the dance of life, let compassion be your guiding rhythm.
Bharavi was a 6th century Sanskrit poet who wrote Kiratarjuniya based on the Mahabharata.
