“The poverty of a man of benevolence is not to be considered as poverty but only …” — Thiruvalluvar

The quantity of a man's wealth will not last long if his generous nature is not balanced with the size of his property.

A wise person does not undertake any business with the risk of losing the capital money in search of making a profit.

The first and most important thing a man should keep away from is not doing harm of any kind knowingly to anyone, at any time.

The entire world is a witness to the phenomenon that sorrows keep away from the kindhearted and compassionate.
