रामायण - युद्ध - प्रियवादिनः

सुलभाः पुरुषा राजन् सततं प्रियवादिनः ।
अप्रियस्य तु पथ्यस्य वक्ता श्रोता च दुर्लभः ॥

- रामायण, युद्ध

sulabhAH puruShA rAjan satatam priyavAdinaH ।
apriyasya tu pathyasya vaktA shrotA cha durlabhaH ॥

- rAmAyaNa, yuddha

Oh King! it is very easy to find people who will talk sweetly always. But It is very hard to find people who can talk hard and right at the same time. It is also hard to find people who can listen to such talk.

- Ramayana, Yuddha
