Thiruvalluvar
Real kindness seeks no return;
What return can the world make to rain clouds?
Thiruvalluvar quotes
The learned are said to have seeing eyes;
The unlearned have only two sores on their faces.
Thiruvalluvar
The crow does not hide its prey, but calls for others to share it;
So wealth will be with those of a like disposition.




Thiruvalluvar quotes
To turn away a guest is poorest poverty;
To bear with fools is mightiest might.
