CHANAKYA PANDITA 2

With love and trust I share some maxims of Chanakya Pandita:
1. An infamous wife, a false friend, an insolent servant and living in a house with a snake, are like death itself.
2. Do not live in a country in which you are not respected, in which you can not earn your livelihood, have no friends and can not acquire knowledge.
3. One whose son is obedient, whose wife behaves according to your wishes and is satisfied with his wealth, has heaven on earth.
4. Enter a scoundrel and a snake, the snake is better because it will bite only once to kill, while the villain will at every moment.
5. Lakshmi (the goddess of fortune) comes of his own accord where fools, where cereals are well stored and where the husband and wife do not fight is not found.
6. Just as gold is tested in four ways, cutting, rubbing, heating it and hitting it, just as a man can be tested by four things: his renunciation, his behavior, his qualities and actions.
7. There is no penance equal to a balanced mind, unhappiness or equal to satisfaction; no disease like greed and no virtue like mercy.
8. All creatures are satisfied with loving words, so we must address all words satisfying, because there is no shortage of loving words.
9. The men have in common with animals, eating, drinking, sleeping, fearing and mating. That in which man surpasses the animal is in the discernment, so that lack of judgment must be taken by animals.
10. Not with millions of gold coins can recover a single moment of life. What greater loss then the time spent fruitlessly ?.
11. Pamper the child up to five years; use the stick the next ten years, as you meet sixteen treat him as a friend.
12. Children are only those dedicated to his father. Father is the one who supports her children. Friend is someone that you can trust, and wife is the one in whose company the husband is satisfied and quiet.
13. Only a true friend that does not abandon us in times of need, misery, famine, war, in the king's court or in the crematorium.
Chanakya Pandita briefly outlines the duties and qualities of the ruling: "The duties of the president are five:. Punish the wicked, reward the righteous, the development of state tax revenues by fair means, impartiality by granting favors and protection of the state" "Features a ruling is five: the renounce wealth in favor of the needy, love virtue, enjoying the pleasures in the company of family and friends, is eager to learn science and war fighter.
