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.

Wealth does not bring goodness, but goodness brings wealth and every other blessing, both to the individual and to the state.

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.

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

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.
