“Friends are not enough to make one happy, nor foes enough to make one unhappy; wisdom isn’t adequate to make one wealthy, nor Wealth is competent to bring happiness. Prudence is not enough to attain wealth, foolishness hinders not success; only wise can comprehend this truth. Fortune follows whomsoever she meets, the understanding and bold, the silly and cowardly, the dull and the wise, the weakly and the strong. The most foolish in the world and the most prudent easily win success; but he who stands midway between them is afflicted.” Bhishma in Mahabharata
