A collection of sayings from literary works of Kalidasa.
No man can ever be in the bottom forever, as the wheel of

natural that as the wheel of time marches inexorably, some are at the top and
others at the bottom.
An auspicious thing is sought by one who seeks to counteract
adverse circumstances, or by one who longs for prosperity; what has one who has
no desire to do with such things.
Even a miser does not ignore a friend in need.
The purity of gold can be tested only when it is put through
the fire.
Knowledge imparted only to a fit recipient will yield
the desired result.
Only he can be considered a courageous person whose mind is
not disturbed by tempting objects.
