Eschew wicked company and associate with saintly persons. Acquire virtue day and night, and always meditate on that which is eternal forgetting that which is temporary.

Education beats the beauty and the youth.

Beauty is spoiled by an immoral nature; noble birth by bad conduct; learning, without being perfected; and wealth by not being properly utilised.

Whoever imposes severe punishment becomes repulsive to the people; while he who awards mild punishment becomes contemptible. But whoever imposes punishment as deserved becomes respectable.

No one should ever be disrespected.

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

The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all direction.
