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.

A man or a ruler should always take up a task after thoroughly considering its consequences. Otherwise fate also cannot protect his wealth.

He who has wealth has friends and relations; he alone survives and is respected as a man.

Save your wealth against future calamity. Do not say, "what fear has a rich man of calamity?" Wealth sometimes vanishes away and large accumulations perish.

He who has wealth has friends.

Accumulated wealth is saved by spending just as incoming fresh water is saved by letting out stagnant water.
