Do not associate much with men; if you do, shut your eyes to their
faults, and bear consequent trouble.

LOVE OF COUNTRY AND HOME

Love of one's own country is a religious duty.

A true man yearns towards his native country, and longs for his home as
a lion longs for his lair.

It is a sign of sound judgment when the heart craves for country and
home.

He is better to suffer hardship in one's own country than to enjoy ease
in a foreign land.

God blesses the land which is loved by its people.

As a nurse who has brought you up, has a special claim on you, so has

He is an unwise man who alienates himself from his country and home.

If it were not for love of country, unhappy lands would be desolate.

To venerate old age is to revere God.

Youth is a kind of madness.

The wisest young men are they who follow the good example of the old,
and the most foolish old men are they who follow the bad example of the
young.

It is the duty of every one to be tender to the young and respectful to
