The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.

Your feelings are your god.

Virtuous persons and fruit-laden trees bow, but fools and dry sticks break because they do not bend.

Do not put your trust in rivers, men who carry weapons, beasts with claws or horns, women, and members of a royal family.

The Goddess of wealth is unsteady, and so is the life breath. The duration of life is uncertain, and the place of habitation is uncertain; but in all this inconsistent world religious merit alone is immovable.

What good can the scriptures do to a man who has no sense of his own? Of what use is as mirror to a blind man?

Accumulated wealth is saved by spending just as incoming fresh water is saved by letting out stagnant water.
