A father who is a chronic debtor, an adulterous mother, a beautiful wife, and an unlearned son are enemies in one's own home.

He who befriends a man whose conduct is vicious, whose vision impure, and who is notoriously crooked, is rapidly ruined.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Do not keep company with a fool for as we can see he is a two-legged beast. Like an unseen thorn he pierces the heart with his sharp words.

The demerits of our own people bringh infamiy. Their disgrace is our own disgrace. That is why infamy os such people relly hurts . It is desifrable that the ruler or the administrator may work in a way that such disgraceful conduct may not occur.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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.
