सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागार - वरमेको गुणी पुत्रः

वरमेको गुणी पुत्रः न च मूर्खशतान्यपि ।
एकश्चन्द्रस्तमो हन्ति न च तारागणोऽपि च ॥

One son with good character and wisdom is better than having a hundred of them who turn out to be fools. Only one Moon is able to illuminate the night, but not all the countless stars put together
