Shiv’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Scion of Ikshvaku (Ram Chandra, #1)

Scion of Ikshvaku (Ram Chandra, #1) by Amish Tripathi

1 note & 5 highlights

Passionate children have strong emotions that insist on finding expression. They laugh loudly. They cry even more loudly.

“Swagruhe Pujyate Murkhaha; Swagraame Pujyate Prabhuhu Swadeshe Pujyate Raja; Vidvaansarvatra Pujyate. A fool is worshipped in his home. A chief is worshipped in his village. A king is worshipped in his kingdom. A knowledgeable person is worshipped everywhere.”
― Amish Tripathi, Scion of Ikshvaku

“But the strange thing about anger is that it is like fire; the more you feed it, the more it grows. It takes a lot of wisdom to know when to let anger go.”
― Amish Tripathi, Scion of Ikshvaku

“But if the government interferes to such an extent that the weak thrive and the strong are oppressed, society itself will collapse over time. A society should not forget that it thrives on the ideas and performance of the talented among its citizens.”

“Nothing disarms strong men like a genuinely innocent and decent woman. It’s the fascination that all strong men have for the Virgin Goddess, who must always be honoured and protected.”
― Amish Tripathi, Scion of Ikshvaku
