Happiness Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness. Chanakya 22
Truth There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth. Chanakya 18
Happiness The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here... Chanakya 17
Death As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do? Chanakya 17
Happiness There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue... Chanakya 13
Future We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment. Chanakya 20
Truth The earth is supported by the power of truth; it is the power of truth that makes the sun shine and the winds blow; indeed all things rest upon truth. Chanakya 17
Alone A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme... Chanakya 20
