There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.

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.

The foolish wish to speak out what was spoken in secret by the master.

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.

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

It is narual for enemy to attack on the weaker side of the adversary.

Sinfully acquired wealth may remain for ten years; in the eleventh year it disappears with even the original stock.
