दरिद्रता धीरतया विराजते

 

दरिद्रता धीरतया विराजते कुवस्त्रता शुभ्रतया विराजते। कदन्नता चोष्णतया विराजते कुरूपता शीलतया विराजते॥

Even when a person is financially backward, his persona stands out if he is really bold and is of lofty character
Even when a person is dressed in cheap clothes, he would get respect if such dress is spotlessly clean
Even utterly bland and tasteless food would tasted somewhat tolerable when it is hot and just fresh from kitchen

Even a person who is ugly by appearance would steal the hearts of eveyone if his behavious, manners and habits are exemplary.
