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.

As water collected in a tank gets pure by filtration, so accumulated wealth is preserved by being employed in charity.

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.

Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, comes of Her own accord where fools are not respected, grain is well stored up, and the husband and wife do not quarrel.

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.
