“Guna Gunagyeshu” is the famous Sanskrit which means “Virtues (or qualities) remain virtues only when they are with someone who appreciates them (knows their value)”.
Sanskrit Shloka
गुणा गुणज्ञेषु गुणा भवन्ति ते निर्गुणं प्राप्य भवन्ति दोषाः ।
सुस्वादुतोयाः प्रभवन्ति नद्यः समुद्रमासाद्य भवन्त्यपेयाः ॥
English Meaning
Good qualities shine among good people but become faults with bad people. Rivers when they are born they are sweet but they become undrinkable in the ocean.
Hindi Meaning
गुणी लोगों के बीच रहकर ही गुण बने रहते हैं, लेकिन निर्गुण व्यक्ति को प्राप्त होकर वे दोष बन जाते हैं, जैसे नदियाँ पर्वतों से स्वादिष्ट जल लेकर निकलती हैं, लेकिन समुद्र में मिलकर वही पानी खारा हो जाता है।
