प्रारभ्यते न खलु विघ्नभयेन नीचैः
प्रारभ्य विघ्नविहता विरमन्ति मध्याः
विघ्नैः पुनः पुनरपि प्रतिहन्यमानाः
प्रारब्धमुत्तमगुणा न परित्यजन्ति
Meaning · English
Small minds never begin, for fear of trouble. The middling begin and quit when it comes. The best are knocked back again and again and never drop what they began.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
छोटे लोग विघ्न के डर से काम शुरू ही नहीं करते। बीच के लोग शुरू करके विघ्न आते ही छोड़ देते हैं। उत्तम लोग बार-बार ठोकर खाकर भी शुरू किया काम नहीं छोड़ते।
