He who has wealth has friends.

He who loses his money is forsaken by his friends, his wife, his servants and his relations; yet when he regains his riches those who have forsaken him come back to him. Hence wealth is certainly the best of relations.

If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.

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

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.
