Panchatantra Punches Part 15

71. Educating an useless fellow does not kill his pride, but increases it. Education is supposed to remove stupidity and pride, but if it encourages them, who can cure the educated man.

72. Rulers who follow the advice of mean and vicious fellow gets trapped in the cage of misadventure.

73. A king shines as a social being not as a solitary; whoever wishes him to be lonely is his adversary.

74. Kings should suspect no poison in harsh criticism, but in flattery they should see treason.

75. Only fools seek friends through treason, through humbug righteousness, property by cheating neighbors,
learning without labor and a woman's love through cruelty and pride.
