He who can curb his wrath as soon as it arises, as a timely antidote will check snake's venom that so quickly spreads-such a monk gives up the here and the beyond, just as a serpent sheds its worn-out skin.
The serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child, the dog owned by other people, and the fool: these seven ought not to be awakened from sleep.
There is poison in the fang of the serpent, in the mouth of the fly and in the sting of a scorpion; but the wicked man is saturated with it.
A wicked wife, a false friend, a saucy servant, and living in a house with a serpent in it are nothing but death.
How well u treat the wicked people, they do nto give up their wickedness. They derive pleasure in hurting others. A serpent made to drink milk, it ejects poison only.
