«For the sake of one’s family, one must give up one thing; for the sake of one’s village, one’s family; for the sake of one’s own land, one’s village; for one’s own sake, one’s entire land.»

After listening to her father, the girl said:

«Daddy, you speak sensibly. But those without a patron are not held in high esteem anywhere. It is said:

«The unimportant become important when they serve the landlord. The important become unimportant when they are deprived of service.»

«The ruler loves only the man who is at his side, even if he is uneducated, uneducated, and unglorious.»

«Usually, landlords, maidens, and vines embrace what is at their side.»

«Servants, however, slowly climb even to the level of the ruler himself; for, being near him, they find objects with which to appease his anger.»

And also:

«For the learned, for those seeking greatness, for those skilled in crafts, for those skilled in service, there is no refuge other than the landlord.»

«Those who are noble by birth or otherwise, but who do not enter the service of the landlord, are destined to repent until death, begging for alms.»
