Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.

Avoid him who talks sweetly before you but tries to ruin you behind your back, for he is like a pitcher of poison with milk on top.

The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability.

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

The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.

That man who is without religion and mercy should be rejected. A guru without spiritual knowledge should be rejected. The wife with an offensive face should be given up, and so should relatives who are without affection.

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