Don't Judge The Future Of A Person

As A Single Withered Tree, If Set Aflame, Causes A Whole Forest To Burn, So Does A Rascal Son Destroy A Whole Family.

Avoid Him Who Talks Sweetly Before You But Tries To Ruin You Behind Your Back, For He Is Like A Pitcher Of Poison With Milk On Top.

Learning Is A Friend On The Journey; A Wife In The House; Medicine In Sickness; And Religious Merit Is The Only Friend After Death.

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.

It Is Better To Live Under A Tree In A Jungle Inhabited By Tigers And Elephants, To Maintain Oneself In Such A Place With Ripe Fruits And Spring Water, To Lie Down On Grass And To Wear The Ragged Barks Of Trees Than To Live Amongst One's Relations When Reduced To Poverty.
