The Miser

कृपणेन समो दाता न भूतो न भविष्यति।
अस्पृश्यन्नेव वित्तानि य: परेभ्य: प्रयच्छति॥

The greatest miser is the greatest philanthropist in the world.. because he won't touch his money in his whole life. He doesn't enjoy his wealth... and when he is dead ..Other people get to enjoy the wealth.

The Teacher

बहवो गुरवो लोके शिष्य् वित्तापहारका:।
भाग्येन् लभ्यते यस्तु शिष्य् चित्तापहारका:

It very easy to find a teacher(Guru) who expects money from Student. But its very hard to find a teacher who is just concerned about what student learns.

The Doctor

वैद्यराज् नम्स्तुभ्यं यमज्येष्ठ सहोदर्।
यम्स्तु हरति प्राणान् त्वम् तु प्राणान् धनान्यपि॥

Hey Doctor .. salute to you. You are like a big brother of Yama( god of death) . Yama takes away only our lives but you take away not only lives but the money too..
