Sanskrit Wisdom - 28

udaarasya truNam vittam shoorasya maraNam truNam |

Explanation
For the generous person, money or wealth is insignificant (like grass). To the brave, death has no value; to the dispassionate person (virakta), his family (wife) is beyond attachment; and to a person who has no desires or ambition, the material world is worthless.
