ક્રોધ ક્રૂર છે અને કોપ રેલરૂપ છે, પણ ઈર્ષ્યા આગળ કોણ ટકી શકે?
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २७:४
क्रोध की क्रूरता और प्रकोप की बाढ़, परन्तु ईर्ष्या के सामने कौन ठहर सकता है?

In context

2Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

3A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

4Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?

5Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

6The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
