क्लिष्टो जनः किल जनैरनुरंजनीयः
    तन्नो यदुक्तमशुभं च न तत् क्षमं ते ।
नैसर्गिकी सुरभिणः कुसुमस्य सिद्धा
     मूर्ध्नि स्थितिर्न चरणैरवताडनानि ॥

- उत्तररामचरित

kliShTo janaH kila janaiH anuranjanIyaH
    tanno yaduktam ashubham cha na tat kShamam te ।
naisargikI surabhiNaH kusumasya siddhA
    mUrdhni sthitirna charaNaiH avatADanAni ॥

- uttararAmacharita

People should always say good things to others who are in trouble. As much as possible they must reduce their trouble. So, there is no forgiveness for the harsh words that I have uttered and you don’t deserve it. A naturally fragrant flower has to placed on the head and not beaten up on by foot. (As told by Rama to Sita)
