Tiruvalluvar
Anger kills both laughter and joy;
What greater foe is there than anger?
Tiruvalluvar quotes
The crow does not hide its prey, but calls for others to share it;
So wealth will be with those of a like disposition.
Tiruvalluvar
The learned are said to have seeing eyes;
The unlearned have only two sores on their faces.




Tiruvalluvar quotes
When you are about to badger the weak,
Then imagine yourself before a more powerful man.
Tiruvalluvar
They who in trouble untroubled are
Will trouble trouble itself.
