On Ghee

An interesting take on Ghee by Chanakya

अन्नाद् दशगुणं पिष्टं पिष्टाद् दशगुणं पय: |
पय्सॊष्टगुणं मांसं मांसाद दशगुणं घृतम् ||

Rice < Wheat < Milk < Meat < Ghee - each is 10 times better than the predecessor!

On Brains


बुद्धिर्यस्य बलं तस्य निर्बुद्धेस्तु कुतो बलम् 
वने सिंहो मदोन्मत्त: शशकेन निपातित: ||

One who has brains is the one who has strength. The shloka quotes the story of pancha-tantra where a clever rabbit kills the mighty lion!
