Brass Is Polished By Ashes; Copper Is

The Earth Is Supported By The Power Of Truth; It Is The Power Of Truth That Makes The Sun Shine And The Winds Blow; Indeed All Things Rest Upon Truth.

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.

Do Not Put Your Trust In Rivers, Men Who Carry Weapons, Beasts With Claws Or Horns, Women, And Members Of A Royal Family.

A Father Who Is A Chronic Debtor, An Adulterous Mother, A Beautiful Wife, And An Unlearned Son Are Enemies In One's Own Home.

A Man Or A Ruler Should Always Take Up A Task After Thoroughly Considering Its Consequences. Otherwise Fate Also Cannot Protect His Wealth.
