Puranamityeya na sadhu sarvam Na chapi kavyam navamityabaddham Santah Parikshanyataradbhajante Mudhah Parapratyaneya Buddhih Malavikagnimitra of Kalidasa, Act 1, Verse 2
Nothing should be taken as good or acceptable merely because it is old Nothing should be treated as bad merely because it is new Great men accept the one or the other after careful deliberation It is only a fool who has his mind led by the beliefs of others. Translation by A.K. Krishna Rao
