The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.

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

Whores don’t live in company of poor men, citizens never support a weak company and birds don’t build nests on a tree that doesn’t bear fruits.

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

God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple.

Religion is preserved by wealth; knowledge by diligent practice; a king by conciliatory words; and a home by a dutiful housewife.

Education beats the beauty and the youth.
