महाभारत - शान्ति - त्याग

नास्ति विद्यासमं चक्षुर्नास्ति सत्यसमं तपः ।
नास्ति रागसमं दुःखं नास्ति त्यागसमं सुखम् ॥

- महाभारत, शान्ति

There is no better eye than education. No better penance than be honest. No worse grief than greed. No greater happiness than in sacrifice (giving).

- Mahabharata, Shanti

भारतमंजरी - विनय त्याग

विनयो रत्नमुकुटं सच्छास्त्रं मणिकुण्डले ।
त्यागश्च कङ्कणं येषां कि तेषां जडमण्डनैः ॥

- भारतमंजरी

What good are earthly ornaments for a person who wears the crown of humility, his knowledge of scriptures as ear pieces and sacrifice as his bangles?
