Panchatantra Punches Part 16

76. Do these three things only once.

a) The word of a king once spoken,
b) A saint's speech,
c) A girl given in marriage.

77. Rivers end in the salty sea, family peace ends when women disagree, secrets end when traitors are not thrown out and families end through a wicked son.

78. Where the tongue is double, you may look for trouble. Every boastful traitor skillful in slander, brings about the ruin of all those in his clutches.

79. Choose a shrewd and upright man as your friend, but if a man be foolish and false, kick him out at the earliest.

80. Better plunge into the sea or fire or the deepest fit than associate with a dangerous fool.
