सुभाषितसुधानिधि - चंदनं न वने वने

शैले शैले न माणिक्यं मौक्तिकं न गजे गजे ।
साधवो न हि सर्वत्र चंदनं न वने वने ॥

- सुभाषितसुधानिधि

shaile shaile na mANikyam mauktikam na gaje gaje ।
sAdhavo na hi sarvatra chandanam na vane vane ॥

- subhAShitasudhAnidhi

Greatness cannot be found in all places. Every stone is not a gem. Every elephant will not have a gem on its head. Noble men cannot be found everywhere. Not every forest will have sandalwood.
