नरपतिहितकर्ता द्वेष्यतां याति लोके

- panchatantra, mitrabheda
If one helps the king, people at large will not like him. If one works mostly in people's interest, then the kings will abandon him. With both sides equally important, it is very difficult to find a person who can balance the interests of both the king and the subjects.
- Panchatantra, Mitrabheda

A person who has parted ways from belief in God (and his creation) will not even give up (the love towards) his body even if he is living in hell. He will find something to live for even there.

Be it in this world or the afterlife, a lady can only depend on her man for anything - not father, not siblings, not herself, not mother and not her friends.
- Ramayana, Ayodhya
