If guests come from far off places and spend time happily with you, only then can you be called as a good household man. The rest of the men are just guarding the house.
- Subhashitasudhanidhi
गुणैः शर्वकल्पोऽपि सीदत्येव निराश्रयः ।

Even if a man has great qualities to be almost equal to Lord Shiva, he will wilt (decline) if he is not properly supported (by family, state, etc..). Even a extremely rare gem needs the support of gold to shine as an ornament.
- Subhashitasudhanidhi
गर्जति शरदि न वर्षति
वर्षति वर्षासु निःस्वनो मेघः ।
नीचो वदति न कुरुते
न वदति सुजनः करोत्येव ॥
- सुभाषितसुधानिधि

varShati varShAsu niHsvano meghaH ।
nIcho vadati na kurute

- subhAShitasudhAnidhi
The clouds of Sharath season only roar – they do not shower. On the other hand, those in the Varsha season only shower and not roar. A lowly man will only talk and never act. A virtuous person will act and not bother to talk.
- Subhashitasudhanidhi
एकं हि चक्षुरमलं सहजो विवेकः
विद्वद्भिरेव सह संवसनं द्वितीयम् ।
यस्यास्ति न द्वयमिदम् स्फुटमेव सोऽधः
तस्यापमार्गचलने वद कोऽपराधः ॥
- सुभाषितसुधानिधि

- subhAShitasudhAnidhi
Having intelligence is like having one clean (good) eye. Being around wise men is like having the other eye. If one has not got either of them, he is as good as blind. Tell me, is there anything wrong (or surprising) that such a person would stray into bad path?
- Subhashitasudhanidhi
अकार्य करणात् भीतः कार्याणां च विवर्जनात् ।
अकाले मन्त्रभेदात् च येन माद्येन्न तत् पिबेत् ॥

- subhaShitasudhAnidhi
Such is the effect of alcohol. It makes you do wrong things. It makes you miss doing the right things. It makes you let out secrets.
- Subhashitasudhanidhi
