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

Do not pass between two brahmanas, between a brahmana and his sacrificial fire, between a wife and her husband, a master and his servant, and a plough and an ox.

Fate being unfavorable( or without god's grace, even an easy task becomes difficult to accomplish)

Trees on a riverbank, a woman in another man's house, and kings without counselors go without doubt to swift destruction.

A thing may be dreaded as long as it has not overtaken you.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.
