संपत्सु महतां चित्तं भवत्युत्पलकोमलं । — Bhartrihari

"श्रोतं श्रुतेनैव न कुण्डलेन दानेन पाणिर्न तु कङ्कणेन"

"यां चिन्तयामि सततं मयि सा विरक्ता साप्यन्यमिच्छति जनं स जनोऽन्यसक्त:। अस्मत्कृते च परिशुष्यति काचिदन्या धिक्ताञ्च तं च मदनं च इमां च मां च ॥"

"The sun opens the lotuses; the moon illuminates the beds of water-lilies; the cloud pours forth its water unasked: even so the liberal of their own accord are occupied in benefiting others."

"Those men are good who study the good of others without regarding themselves. Those men are ordinary men who, while they benefit others, do not neglect their own interests. Those men are demons who destroy anothers good for their own profit. What shall we call those who aimlessly destroy that which is anothers?"
