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.

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.

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

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.

Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.

Learning is a friend on the journey; a wife in the house; medicine in sickness; and religious merit is the only friend after death.

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