A man is not an elder because his head is grey; his age may be ripe, but he is called 'Old-in-vain.'

Pleasant is virtue lasting to old age, pleasant is a faith firmly rooted.

Who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs, follow that wise man; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him.

A man cannot be born again in a lower world; but can only be born into a Brahman world, before he reaches Nirvâna.

A man who has learnt little, grows old like an ox; his flesh grows, but his knowledge does not grow.

Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast.
