“ Fearing the obstacles , worst people don't start . Mediocre people rest(or stop) when they face obstacles. Best people don't stop even if they are getting defeated by obstacles. ” “ People may scold or praise, Wealth may come or go, Death may be now or Years after, Great Person will not deviate from right path(or goal) . ” These both were quoted by Bhartṛhari in his book Nitiśatakam (written in c. 5th century CE). “ Don't rant that you don't have , not considering everything you have. There is always a path to happiness. ” This one is quoted by writer D.V. Gundappa written in his book "Mankutimmana Kagga" (which is also a book of wisdom published in 1943) .
