Books Are As Useful To A Stupid

The Beauty Of A Cuckoo Is In Its Notes, That Of A Woman In Her Unalloyed Devotion To Her Husband, That Of An Ugly Person In His Scholarship, And That Of An Ascetic In His Forgiveness.

One Whose Knowledge Is Confined To Books And Whose Wealth Is In The Possession Of Others, Can Use Neither His Knowledge Nor Wealth When The Need For Them Arises.

The Goddess Of Wealth Is Unsteady, And So Is The Life Breath. The Duration Of Life Is Uncertain, And The Place Of Habitation Is Uncertain; But In All This Inconsistent World Religious Merit Alone Is Immovable.

Generosity, Pleasing Address, Courage And Propriety Of Conduct Are Not Acquired, But Are Inbred Qualities.

Beauty Is Spoiled By An Immoral Nature; Noble Birth By Bad Conduct; Learning, Without Being Perfected; And Wealth By Not Being Properly Utilised.
