A wise man, possessing high wisdom, knowing that life has its ups and downs, is neither filled with joy nor with grief. When happiness comes, one should enjoy it, and when misery comes one should bear it.” –   Vrihi Drounika Parva, Aranya Parva

3. “Men of immature understanding begin an act without having an eye to what may happen in future.” –  Rajshuyarambha Parva, Sabha Parva
