सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागार - सुहृच्च विद्वानपि


मनीषिणः संति न ते हितैषिणो
    हितैषिणः संति न ते मनीषिणः ।
सुहृच्च विद्वानपि दुर्लभो नृणां
    यथौषधं स्वादु हितं च दुर्लभम् ॥


- सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागार



manIShiNaH na te hitainShiNaH
    hitaiShiNaH santi na te manIShiNaH ।
suhRut cha vidvAnapi durlabho nRuNAm
    yathA auShadham svAdu hitam cha durlabham ॥

There are wise men. But they are not my well wishers. There are a lot of well wishers. But they are not wise. It is difficult in this world to find a person who is both wise and a well wisher - just like it is hard to find a medicine that also tastes good.
