Tiruvalluvar
There is no greater wealth than Virtue,
And no greater loss than to forget it.
Tiruvalluvar quotes
How can kindliness rule that man
Who eateth other flesh to increase his own?
Tiruvalluvar
When no food is given to the ear,
Then let a little be given to the stomach.




Tiruvalluvar quotes
The wound that’s made by fire will heal,
But the wound that’s made by tongue will never heal.
Tiruvalluvar
To get wealth and security by guile
Is like one who pours water into a pot of unbaked clay.
