Many a spoken word is more piercing than an attack.

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

To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.

The wiser a man is, the less talkative will he be.

He who busies himself with things other than improvement of his own self becomes perplexed in darkness and entangled in ruin. His evil spirits immerse him deep in vices and make his bad actions seem handsome.

Greed takes a person to the watering place but gets him back without letting him drink. It undertakes responsibility but does not fulfill it. Often the drinker gets choked before quenching his thirst. The greater the worth of a thing yearned for, the greater is the grief for its loss. Desires blind the eyes of understanding. The destined share would reach him who does not approach it.

Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others.
