Rubies Not Everywhere
Chanakya Niti 2.9
शैले शैले च माणिक्यं मौक्तिकं न गजे गजे ।
साधवो न हि सर्वत्र चन्दनं न वने वने
Meaning · English
Not every hill has a ruby, not every elephant a pearl, not every forest sandalwood. Good people are not found everywhere either.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
हर पहाड़ पर माणिक नहीं मिलता, हर हाथी के पास मोती नहीं होता, हर जंगल में चंदन नहीं होता। इसी तरह भले लोग भी हर जगह नहीं मिलते।
