He should reduce his strong attachment to possessions which, if he is not mindful, can enslave him to greed. What he owns or has should instead be used for the benefit and happiness of others: his loved ones as well as those who need his help.”

“The first child is also loved, when he is still the only child and there is the absence of someone who can take his place.”

“How did a fool and his money get together in the first place?”

“He who would dominate must learn early that those resisting his command should be destroyed.”
