संपत्सु महतां चित्तं भवत्युत्पलकोमलं ।
आपत्सु च महाशैल शिलासंघात कर्कशम् ॥ – भर्तृहरि नीति शतक
Sampatsu mahataam chittam bhavatyutpalakomalam
Aapatsu cha mahaashaila shilaasanghaata karkasham
Meaning : In good times the heart of great men is soft as the petals of the lotus flower. In bad times, however, it becomes as hard as the rocks of the mountain.
