A man is great by deeds, not by birth.

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

Wicked ones are like fire. Even if pu on hea, they burn only. They do not leave unhurt even their well - wishers and benefactors.

A low-minded person should not be given good advice.

It is better to be without a king than to have a bad one.

Let not a single day pass without your learning a verse, half a verse, or a fourth of it, or even one letter of it; nor without attending to charity, study and other pious activity.

He who shall practice these twenty virtues shall become invincible in all his undertakings.
