Those whose life is long still strive for gain, and for all mortals all things take second place to money.
Money is sharper than the sword.
Boasting of wealth and virtue brings your demise.
If a merchant entrust money to an agent (broker) for some investment, and the broker suffer a loss in the place to which he goes, he shall make good the capital to the merchant.
If he have no money to repay, then he shall pay in corn or sesame in place of the money as rent for what he received from the merchant, according to the royal tariff.
Wealth is the parent of luxury and indolence, and poverty of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent.
There is no one who became rich because he broke a holiday, no one became fat because he broke a fast.
