Words Well Worth 1: Follow Little, But Well Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

If heed can ye not hundred percent
The path of virtuous excellent,
Hail just how so far can,
Relent not once began,
Never those on the right path repent.

The transliteration of the subhāśhita is given below:

anugantum satām vartma kŗtsnam yadi na shakyate |
svalpam api anugantavyam mārgah sthah na avasīdati ||

It is alright if the path of the nobles can't be followed to the full. It is well its worth even a part of it is followed. One on the right path always reaches sooner or later, and never repents.

anugantum:to follow; satām vartma:the path of nobles; of the virtuous;
kŗtsnam:to the full; entirely; yadi:if; na shakyate: is not possible;
svalpam api:even a small (part of it): anugantavyam:should be followed, implemented;
mārga-sthah:one, on the (right)path/way; na avasīdati: never repents; not disappointed.
