The Vedas bear fruit through the agnihotra; learning bears fruit through conduct and a disciplined livelihood; spouses bear fruit through affection and offspring; wealth bears fruit through being given and rightly enjoyed.

One who performs the post-mortem rites with wealth gained through adharma does not, after death, obtain the intended fruit of that act, for the means were acquired by improper ways.

Austerity (tapas) is the strength of ascetics; brahman—sacred knowledge—is the strength of those who know brahman. Violence is the strength of the unvirtuous; forgiveness is the strength of the virtuous.
