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

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.

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

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.

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

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