“There is no object that cannot be obtained through money. Therefore, the wise should strive to attain wealth.

One who has wealth, has friends; one who has wealth, has allies. One who has wealth, only he is a man in this world; one who has wealth, he is a scholar.

It's not knowledge, nor charity, nor craft, nor art, nor the stability of the rich, that the petitioners don’t praise.

In this world even strangers are relatives of the rich. The poor people's own family members also always become wicked.

By the growth and accumulation of wealth, all tasks get done. Just like rivers flow out of the mountains and complete all work.

Even the undeserving get worshipped because of wealth, even the inaccessible becomes accessible, even the ignoble gets praised; all these are the influence of wealth.

Just as all senses are strengthened by eating, all works are accomplished with money. That's why money is said to be the means of everything.

For the desire of wealth, man even visits the cremation grounds. A poor man abandons even his own parents.

Even among the old, those who have money, are young. The poor turn old even in their youth.

People can obtain money in 6 ways: begging, royal service, farming, education, transactions and commerce. Of these commerce is unanimously beneficial. Many people have begged, even kings don't pay enough, farming is difficult, education is very different from the teacher's humbleness, debt can also impoverish; I don't consider any other means of livelihood than commerce.”
