For the industrious and hard-working person there cannot be any poverty.

For a person in whose mind and lips play the Lord's name, there can be no sin left behind.

There cannot be any quarrel when a person adopts silence as his best policy.

The poverty of Individuals, groups of Individuals and in villagaes states and countries all has its roots in the lack of initiative and hard-work on the part of the people.

We get cheated mainly because we are not alert either mentally or physically or both..

Lack of alertness is the twin brother of laziness. These two go together admirably well and work very effectively to the our detriment..
