पञ्चतंत्र - काकोलूकीय - वचः


अदेशकालज्ञमनायतिक्षमं
    यदप्रियं लाघवकारि चात्मनः ।
योऽत्राब्रवीत्कारणवर्जितं वचो
    न तद्वचः स्याद्विषमेव तद्वचः ॥


- पञ्चतंत्र, काकोलूकीय


If one speaks without knowledge of space (where he is), or time, or without fore thought, or discomforting others, or diminishing one's own weight, or without any reason - such speech will be as dangerous as poison.

- Panchatantra, Kakolukiya
