A quote from the Vikramarka or Vikramanka charitra or Bilhana..
Meaning 
====================
A country or kingdom without wise ministers
A fort without adequate stock of foodgrains
Affluence and physical attractiveness without kindness and concern for others
Renunciation without proper knowledge and insight 
Raw power in the hands of bad people 
The intellect and rhetorics of religious bigots
Friendship with wicked men who pose as good 
The freedom to move and work given to slaves
Show of pomp by an indigent or poor person
Show of anger by a menial or servant
Company with idiots
All these are of no use at all. They will yield nothing . If at all many of these situations can cause destruction or embarrassment and loss 
==========================

The words speak for themselves.. No explanation seems to be necessary.. And if one starts explaining, one can write a thesis on each issue..
