Thiruvalluvar
The gruel that children’s little hands have stirred
Is sweeter than nectar.
Thiruvalluvar quotes
Reasoning with a drunkard is like
Going under water with a torch to seek for a drowning man.
Thiruvalluvar
The worth of a wife is a man’s good fortune;
His jewels are his good children.




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