“A wicked wife, a false friend, a saucy servant and living in a house with a serpent in it are nothing but death.”

Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.

The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.

Books are as useful to a stupid person as a mirror is useful to a blind person.

Knowledge is lost without putting it into practice; a man is lost due to ignorance; an army is lost without a commander; and a woman is lost without a husband.

The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability.

For good days one should save money, women should be protected even if it takes the money saved. But for self preservation the money and the women should be sacrificed!!

What good can the scriptures do to a man who has no sense of his own? Of what use is as mirror to a blind man?

A ruler wishing to win should not trust a captured enemy even if he may be extending had to be friend. Because deep rooted enmity, however, concealed, will surely come to light.

Those born blind cannot see; similarly blind are those in the grip of lust. Proud men have no perception of evil; and those bent on acquiring riches see no sin in their actions.

He who has wealth has friends.

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

Do not put your trust in rivers, men who carry weapons, beasts with claws or horns, women, and members of a royal family.

Even a captured enemy is not to be trusted.

It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment’s grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one’s life.

Rain which falls upon the sea is useless; so is food for one who is satiated; in vain is a gift for one who is wealthy; and a burning lamp during the daytime is useless.

My dear child, if you desire to be free from the cycle of birth and death, then abandon the objects of sense gratification as poison. Drink instead the nectar of forbearance, upright conduct, mercy, cleanliness and truth.

Man is a money-making animal, which propensity too often interferes with his benevolence.

No philosophers so thoroughly comprehend us as dogs and horses.

My love for animals started before I can remember.

Honor lies in the mane of a horse.

Animals don’t have a voice, so I think it is our job to give them one.

What we do to animals, we do to ourselves.

I think it’s time we take a step back and recognize that while we are hurting our animals, we are hurting each other, and we are hurting our planet.

Animals don’t even try to look any different from what nature intended. They humbly wear their shells, scales, spines, plumes, pelts, and down. The conscious impulse to change one’s appearance is found only among humans.
