Subhaashita Sutras 26 - 28

चिन्तनीया हि विपदामादावेव प्रतिक्रिया।

न कूपखननं युक्तं प्रदीप्ते वह्निना गृहे ।।

शाङ्ग्रधरपद्धतिः - 14

One should be prepared to meet difficulties even before they arise. Starting to dig a be when the house is on fire is not wise.

वरं दारिद्र्यन्याप्रभवाद्विभवादिह ।

कृशताभिमता देहे पीनता न तु शोफतः ।।

शा्ङ्गधरपद्धतिः - 14 144

Poverty is better than ill-gotten wealth. It is better to be lean and healthy rather than obese and unhealthy.

नरस्याभरणं रूपं रूपस्याभरणं गुणः।

गुणस्याभरणं ज्ञानं ज्ञानस्याभरणं क्षमा ।।

नराभरणम्-2

Good looks are the adornment for man, Character is the adornment for good looks. Wisdom is the adornment for the character. Forgiveness is the adornment for wisdom.
