Constant travel brings old age upon a man; a horse becomes old by being constantly tied up; lack of sexual contact with her husband brings old age upon a woman; and garments become old through being left in the sun.

An enemy should be struck at his weak point.

A wicked wife, a false friend, a saucy servant and living in a house with a serpent in it are nothing but death.

A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.

Considersing the forebearance of a person, Do not harass him.

Even as the unborn babe is in the womb of his mother, these five are fixed as his life destiny: his life span, his activities, his acquisition of wealth and knowledge, and his time of death.

A man is great by deeds, not by birth.
