# He who gives up shyness in monetary dealings, in acquiring knowledge, in eating and in business, becomes happy.
# Accumulated wealth is saved by spending, just as incoming fresh water is saved by letting out stagnant water.
# He who has wealth has friends and relations; he alone survives and is respected as a man.
# Low class men desire wealth; middle class men both wealth and respect; but the noble, honour only; hence honour is the noble man's true wealth.
# 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. The rainwater enlivens all living beings of the earth both movable (insects, animals, humans, etc.) and immovable (plants, trees, etc.), and then returns to the ocean where its value is multiplied a million fold.
# Poverty is set off by fortitude; shabby garments by keeping them clean; bad food by warming it; and ugliness by good behaviour.
# One destitute of wealth is not destitute, he is indeed rich (if he is learned); but the man devoid of learning is destitute in every way.
# Fate makes a beggar a king and a king a beggar. He makes a rich man poor and a poor man rich.
# He who is not shy in the acquisition of wealth, grain and knowledge, and in taking his meals, will be happy.
# As centesimal droppings will fill a pot so also are knowledge, virtue and wealth gradually obtained.
