Do Not Keep Company With A Fool

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.

Even A Captured Enemy Is Not To Be Trusted.

What Good Is A Cow That Neither Gives Milk Nor Conceives? Similarly, What Is The Value Of The Birth Of A Son If He Becomes Neither Learned Nor A Pure Devotee Of The Lord?

He Who Has Wealth Has Friends And Relations; He Alone Survives And Is Respected As A Man.

A Learned Man Is Honoured By The People.a Learned Man Commands Respect Everywhere For His Learning. Indeed, Learning Is Honoured Everywhere.
