THINK LIKE A TRILLIONAIRE
One should save his money against hard times, save his wife at the sacrifice of his riches, but invariably one should save his soul even at the sacrifice of his wife and riches.
Do not inhabit a country where you are not respected, cannot earn your livelihood, have no friends, or cannot acquire knowledge.
Wise men should never go into a country where there are no means of earning one's livelihood, where the people have no dread of anybody, have no sense of shame, no intelligence, or a charitable disposition.
Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune.
He is a true friend who does not forsake us in time of need, misfortune, famine, or war, in a king's court, or at the crematorium.
He who gives up what is imperishable for that which perishable, loses that which is imperishable; and doubtlessly loses that which is perishable also.
A wise man should marry a virgin of a respectable family even if she is deformed He should not marry one of a low-class family, through beauty Marriage in a family of equal status is preferable.
Do not put your trust in rivers, men who carry weapons, beasts with claws or horns, women, and members of a royal family.
To have ability for eating when dishes are ready at hand, to be robust and virile in the company of one's religiously wedded wife, and to have a mind for making charity when one is prosperous are the fruits of no ordinary austerities.
He whose son is obedient to him, whose wife's conduct is in accordance with his wishes, and who is content with his riches, has his heaven here on earth.
They alone are sons who are devoted to their father He is a father who supports his sons He is a friend in whom we can confide, and she only is a wife in whose company the husband feels contented and peaceful.
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.
Do not put your trust in a bad companion nor even trust an ordinary friend, for if he should get angry with you, he may bring all your secrets to light.
Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.
Foolishness is indeed painful, and verily so is youth, but more painful by far than either is being obliged in another person's house.
There does not exist a ruby in every mountain, nor a pearl in the head of every elephant; neither are the sadhus to be found everywhere, nor sandal trees in every forest.
Those parents who do not educate their sons are their enemies; for as is a crane among swans, so are ignorant so are ignorant sons in a public assembly.
Many a bad habit is developed through overindulgence, and many a good one by chastisement, therefore beat your son as well as your pupil; never indulge them.
Let not a single day pass without your learning a verse, half a verse, or a fourth of it, or even one
