Wisdom from a Hindu perspective

While I was teaching at Piedmont College in Demorest Georgia, I purchased items from a Hindu Monastery in Hawaii. Thus, I got on their mailing list. The folks there have a daily posting of various quotations from Hindu masters. Two of the early ones seemed quite appropriate for this day and time:

He alone is trustworthy who fully possesses these four:
kindness, intelligence, assurance and freedom from greed.

Pick that man who passes a four-fold test:
how he handles virtue, wealth, pleasure and loss of life.
