-- Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and youth.


-- Even is a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.


-- God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple.


-- A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.

-- As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.


-- As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; When death is immanent what can you do?


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

-- Even a pandit comes to grief by giving instruction to a foolish disciple, by maintaining a wicked wife, and by excessive familiarity with the miserable.

--One should save his money against hard times, save his wife at the sacrifice of his riches, but invariably one should save his soul even at the sacrifice of his wife and riches.

-- Save your wealth against future calamity. Do not say,"What fear has a rich man, of calamity?" When riches begin to forsake one even the accumulated stock dwindles away.

-- Do not inhabit a country where you are not respected, cannot earn your livelihood, have no friends, or cannot acquire knowledge.

--Do not stay for a single day where there are not these five persons; a wealthy man, a brahmin well versed in Vedic lore, a king, a river and a physician.

-- Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune.

-- He is a true friend who does not forsake us in time of need, misfortune, famine, or war, in a king's court, or at the crematorium (smasana)

-- A wise man should marry a virgin of a respectable family even if she is deformed. He should not marry one of a low-class family, through beauty. Marriage in a family of equal status is preferable.

-- Do not put your trust in rivers, men who carry weapons, beasts with claws or horns, women, and members of a royal family.

-- Women have hunger two-fold, shyness four-fold, daring six-fold, and lust eight-fold as compared to men.

-- Do not put your trust in a bad companion nor even trust an ordinary friend, for if he should get angry with you, he may bring all your secrets to light.

--Knowledge is lost without putting it into practice; a man is lost due to ignorance; an army is lost without a commander; and a woman is lost without a husband.

--Rain which falls upon the sea is useless; so is food for one who is satiated; in vain is a gift for one who is wealthy; and a burning lamp during the daytime is useless.

-- O Wise Man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.

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

-- Scriptural lessons not put into pratice are poison; a meal is poison to him who suffers from indigestion; a social gathering is poison to a poverty stricken person; and a young wife is poison to an aged man.

-- As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what you can do?
