The companionship of good people removes the inertia of one's mind, nurtures

truth in the speech, enhances prestige, expiates the sins, comforts the

conscience, spreads the name and fame in all directions. Say! what good is

there which the company of devout does not bring to a man.

 

Base men do not undertake any work apprehending obstacles. Mediocres make a

start, but cease working when they encounter hindrances. The men of excellence,

however, after commencing a job do not give up despite of recurrence of

impediments.

 

A lion's cub also attacks a frenzied elephant. Valour is inherent in the nature

of the powerful, and age, as such, is of no consequence to their prowess.
