Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 166
तत् सखे सर्वदा त्वया सोत्साहेन भवितव्यम् । यतः ।
शास्त्राण्यधीत्यापि भवन्ति मूर्खा यस्तु क्रियावान् पुरुषः स विद्वान् ।
सुचिन्तितं चौषधमातुराणां न नाममात्रेण करोत्यरोगम् ॥
Therefore, friend, you should always be hopeful. Because even after having studied the sastras people may remain fools; that man is learned who puts his knowledge into practice. A medicine, although well selected, does not restore the diseased to health by the mere mention of its name.
