He who has wealth has friends and relations; he alone survives and is respected as a man.

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

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.

A person or a ruler who executes his plans (of public welfare) after due consideration, the prosperity stands with him for a longer period.

A friend, even if he be the enemy's son , should be protected.

An enemy should be struck at his weak point.

What good can the scriptures do to a man who has no sense of his own? Of what use is as mirror to a blind man?
