केयूर न भूषयन्ति पुरुषम् हारा न चन्द्रोज्वला

न स्नानं न विलेपनं न कुसुमं नालन्क्रुता मूर्धजा:।

Armlets do not beautify a person, neither do necklaces bright as the moon,

bathing, applying scents, flowers, nor well groomed hair. Well cultured speech thoroughly adorns a man. All decorations fade away slowly, Adornment of speech remains.

Their character remains unchanged like that of oceans and saints.
