I have always been a big fan of quotes - A good quote invariably has a message - which has the power to transform you. I always wonder how simple 2 lines can have such meaningful reflection on ones life. Who says internet is a trash-can??

These are some of the Chanakya's Quotes - the original strategist; one of my all time idols - Worth reading a million times - a CCP stuff for me to revisit them again and again - all other benefits are add-ons :-)
