Kural 411<\/p>\n
The most precious wealth is the wealth acquired by the ear.
\nIndeed, of all wealth, that wealth is paramount.
\nKural 412<\/p>\n
Only when no fare can be found for the ear
\nis it time to offer the stomach a morsel.
\nKural 413<\/p>\n
In Heaven, Deities feed from sacrificial fires.
\nOn Earth, men who feast on listening are their equal.
\nKural 414<\/p>\n
Though he has no learning, if a man listens to the learned,
\nthat will serve as his staff of strength in adversity.
\nKural 415<\/p>\n
Words from the lips of upright men
\nare like a steadying staff in a slippery place.
\nKural 416<\/p>\n
Let a man listen to good things, however little.
\nEven that little will enlarge his greatness.
\nKural 417<\/p>\n
Those who have studied deeply and listened diligently never speak
\nfoolish words, even when they have misunderstood a matter.
\nKural 418<\/p>\n
If not pierced by acute listening,
\nears may hear and yet remain deaf.
\nKural 419<\/p>\n
Unless he has listened to learning’s subtlety,
\nit is rare indeed for a man to speak with humility.
\nKural 420<\/p>\n
There are those whose tongues taste but whose ears savor nothing.
\nWhat does it matter whether they live or die?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
