Religion is preserved by wealth; knowledge by diligent practice; a king by conciliatory words; and a home by a dutiful housewife.

Don't judge the future of a person based on his present conditions, becausetime has the power to change black coal to shiny diamond.

He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.

Wealth, a friend, a wife, and a kingdom may be regained; but this body when lost may never be acquired again.

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

By means of hearing one understands dharma, malignity vanishes, knowledge is acquired, and liberation from material bondage is gained.

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?
