Do not use the sharpness of your speech on your mother who taught you how to speak.

One who rushes madly after inordinate desire, runs the risk of encountering destruction and death.

Do not be too hard, lest you be broken; do not be too soft, lest you be squeezed.

If you are greeted then return the greetings more warmly. If you are favored, then repay the obligation manifold; but he who takes the initiative will always excel in merit.

In this world, man is a target of death, an easy prey to calamities, here every morsel and every draught is liable to choke one, here one never receives a favour until he loses another instead, here every additional day in one's life is a day reduced from the total span of his existence, when death is the natural outcome of life, how can we expect immortality.

He who is greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated; he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort.

Greed is permanent slavery
