Sinfully acquired wealth may remain for ten years; in the eleventh year it disappears with even the original stock.
For the moon though one, dispels the darkness, which the stars, though numerous, do not.
Rain which falls upon the sea is useless; so is food for one who is satiated; in vain is a gift for one who is wealthy; and a burning lamp during the daytime is useless.
The foolish wish to speak out what was spoken in secret by the master.
He who has wealth has friends and relations; he alone survives and is respected as a man.
An egoist can be won over by being respected, a crazy person can be won over by allowing him to behave in an insane manner and a wise person can be won over by truth.
