As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.
 

Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.
 
He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.
 
It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment's grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one's life.
 
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.
