Very high quality eastern philosophical explanations in later part of this thread, am unable to write about it simply read some beautiful described parts of life, it all deals with making life better, if I understand all these aspects of life correctly written by stalwarts here.

Chinese philosphers like Confucius, Laozi, Li Si, Han Fei etc etc came up with many truths of life in simple words ..They are very similar to what we read in our scriptures since we share many similar things besides being two of the oldest civilizations...
some quotes...
1, Knowing others is wisdom ,knowing yourself is enlightenment !
and
Know your enemy and know yourself and
you can fight a hundred battle without disaster !

The most significant person apart from Krishna in Mahabharat is Vidur so far as 'Neeti' (policy) is concerned. even now Vidur neeti is considered ideal for inter personal relation as well as state affairs. Vidur was a maid serevant's son and appointed minister by Kauravas owing to his wisdom.

Vidur Neeti is considered as an all time relevant Shastra or science.. He was born to sage Vyasa and Parishrami, the maid of Ambika and Ambalika.
In Mahabharata he was also considered as the incarnation of Yama Dharma raja the god of death and justice
