"Where the king is the trader, the people become beggars", Viral Acharya refers to this ancient Gujarati proverb to caution Indians.

On Heart and Mind mentioned by Viral Acharya, I immediately recall a couplet (in Urdu “Sher”) :
Lazim hai ke Dil ke saath rahe Pasban Aql: Lekin kabhi abhi ise tanha bhi chor de ( It is a must with Heart there should be the lode star of mind: but leave sometimes you leave alone the lode star of mind)
