Religion is preserved by wealth; knowledge by diligent practice; a king by conciliatory words; and a home by a dutiful housewife.
A man is great by deeds, not by birth.
God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple.
O wise man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.
Fire, even if put on head, burns only.
If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what is the value of other ornamentation?
