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

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.

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

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

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.
