To cause happiness or remove unhappiness for the benefit of another being, even if it is done with great effort, brings the virtuous man more satisfaction than if he easily achieved his own happiness.
Virtues are not as obvious as vices.
The friend, the wife, the servant, reason and boldness in need know each other.
A friend in need is known, a hero in battle, an honest man in paying his debt, a wife in poverty, relatives in trouble.
Friends are good when you need them. Pleasure is pleasant if it is mutual.
Even if one has defeated thousands of men, thousands of times, in battle, and another has defeated himself, the latter is the great victor in battle.
Even if a man repeats a little what is written, but lives according to the law of dharma, freed from passion, hatred and ignorance, enjoying true knowledge, unfettered reason, not attached to either this world or the next - he partakes of holiness.
If the good man has done a good thing, let him do it continuously, put it at the foundation of his intentions, because the accumulation of good is a joy. If the bad man has done a bad thing, let him not repeat it, let him not make it the basis of his intentions, because the accumulation of bad things is painful.
If you happen to hear a bad word, bury it in the ground seven cubits deep.
If you value friendship, in the house you will enter as an honest guest or brother, carefully avoid women!
If you meet a wise man who points out faults and reproves the one who has them, follow him as a guiding treasure.
If you do not straighten an evil, it will become bent.
If you can't avoid danger, what's the point of cowardice, which can't defend you anyway?
If the hand is not injured, you can also hold poison in it - the poison will not touch the uninjured. He who does not do evil cannot be touched by evil.
If the traveler does not meet someone like him or better, he had better stay alone: you cannot make friends with a fool.
If happiness is obtained through the sufferings caused to those close to you or if misfortune is banished from them in the same way, happiness in the end is still not reached and you should not act in this way. If you are wise, do not oppose the rich, the ruler, the child, the old man, the ascetic, the sage, the woman, the fool and the teacher.
If you are inclined to do good, build a house. How to love his mistress. Her womb feeds him and her body clothes him, Her skin covers her with fragrant balm, Delight her heart while you live! For she is like a wonderful field to her master.
If the blind man has knowledge, he is better than the sharp-sighted ignorant man.
If service is a selfless gesture, who's left to complain? That which is done with the thought of reward, is not a service, but only the return of a debt.
If you hear a secret word, let it die in your soul.
Share with no one the secret that may turn into embers on your lips, burn your tongue, torment your soul, and make you rail against god.
If there is something that needs to be done, act firmly. Because more dust is raised by the lack of vigor hiking.
Greed is a fire that consumes the hearts of those who do not know contentment, those who have obtained the desired wife and children, obtained wealth, power, even more than they dreamed of - far be it from my heart.
Greed has no end - into this abyss you can fall endlessly.
The greedy often does not know what he wants, and the only thing that awaits him is boundless failure.
The cool marble of women's bodies blinds, seduces, But in a moment it can turn into a flame-throwing sardonyx. To own them - a fugitive dream. To understand them - certain death!
If the woman shines, the whole house shines, if the woman is in a bad mood, then the whole house is plunged into darkness.
Women are born educated, men learn from books.
Cruelty - even to the wicked - leads to hell. What about the cruelty to the good guys?
Live in your youth in such a way that you will be happy in your old age.
