Mahabharata Quote #12

Just as the swine always look for dirt and filth even in the midst of a flower garden, so will the wicked always choose the toxic out of both the toxic and the pure that others speak. The wise, on hearing the speeches of others that are intermixed with both purity and toxicity, accept only what is pure, like swans that always extract only milk, though it be mixed with water.
-Queen Sakuntala
