He wrote a book named ‘Arthashastra’ in the fourth century. Chanakya left with his wisdom for us. Here are some of the wisest quotes from his book.

2 “The biggest guru mantra is never sharing your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you”.
3 “Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth”.
4 “Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions: Why am I doing it, what might the results be, and will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions”.
5” Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keeps it secret being determined to carry it into execution ”.
