The Learned Are Envied By

The Power Of A King Lies In His Mighty Arms; That Of A Brahmana In His Spiritual Knowledge; And That Of A Woman In Her Beauty Youth And Sweet Words.

By Means Of Hearing One Understands Dharma, Malignity Vanishes, Knowledge Is Acquired, And Liberation From Material Bondage Is Gained.

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.

A Man Is Great By Deeds, Not By Birth.

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