“ ഒന്നെയുള്ളെങ്കിലും ഉലക്കകൊണ്ടടിച്ചു വളർത്തണം”
English Translation:
Even if you have only an only child, raise them with strict discipline. (Do not spare the rod simply because an only child is precious; pampering fosters ruin.)

“ ആനനടത്തവും കുതിരപ്പാച്ചലുംശരി”
English Translation:
Equating the deliberate stride of an elephant with the frantic gallop of a horse. (Two distinct natures and methods, each valid in its own sphere, cannot be judged by the same yardstick.)

“ ചെമ്പിൽ അമ്പഴങ്ങാപുഴുങ്ങിതിന്നിട്ടും ജീവിക്കണം”
English Translation:
One must survive even if it means subsisting on sour hog-plums boiled in a copper pot. (One must bear the harshest privations and bitterest austerity to endure through life.)
