Fools are hard to be conciled

लभेत सिकतासु तैलमपि यत्नतः पीडय-

न्पिबेच्च मृगतृष्णिकासु सलिलं पिपासार्दितः ।

कदाचिदपि पर्यटञ्छशविषाणमासादये-

न्नतु प्रतिनिविष्टमूर्खजनचित्तमाराधयेत् ॥


If you try, you might succeed to obtain oil from the sand, find water in mirage, might sight a hare with horns but however hard you try, you can not conciliate a fool.
