101 Assistance given by those who ne'er received our aid, Is debt by gift of heaven and earth but poorly paid.

102 A timely benefit, — though thing of little worth The gift itself, — in excellence transcends the earth.

103 Kindness shown by those who weigh not What the return may be; When you ponder right its merit, 'Tis vaster than the sea.

104 Each benefit to those of actions' fruit who rightly deem, Though small as millet-seed, as palm-tree vast will seem.

105 The kindly aid's extent is of its worth no measure true; Its worth is as the worth of him to whom the act you do.

106 Kindness of men of stainless soul remember evermore! Forsake thou never friends who were thy stay in sorrow sore!

107 Through all seven worlds, in seven-fold birth [generations], Remains in mem'ry of the wise, Friendship of those who wiped on earth, The tears of sorrow from their eyes.

108 'Tis never good to let the thought of good things done thee pass away; Of things not good, 'tis good to rid thy memory that very day.

109 Effaced straightway is deadliest injury, By thought of one kind act in days gone by.

110 Who every good have killed, may yet destruction flee; Who 'benefit' has killed, that man shall ne'er 'scape free!
