The good extend their loving care
To men, however mean or vile;
E’en base Chándálas’* dwellings share
Th’ impartial sunbeam’s silver smile.
Hitopadesa.
* Chándálas, or Pariahs, are the lowest, or of no caste.

Let a man accept with confidence valuable knowledge even from a person of low degree, good instruction regarding duty even from a humble man, and a jewel of a wife even from an ignoble family.
Manu.
