Thiruvalluvar Quotes

The learned are said to have seeing eyes;
The unlearned have only two sores on their faces.

How can kindliness rule that man
Who eateth other flesh to increase his own?

They who in trouble untroubled are
Will trouble trouble itself.

Reasoning with a drunkard is like
Going under water with a torch to seek for a drowning man.

How can he practice true compassion

The worth of a wife is a man’s good fortune;
His jewels are his good children.
