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.

Sinfully acquired wealth may remain for ten years; in the eleventh year it disappears with even the original stock.

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.

One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others, can use neither his knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises.

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