Kural 431<\/p>\n
Those who are free from vanity, vulgarity and venomousness
\nwill prosper in deserving dignity.
\nKural 432<\/p>\n
Avarice, arrogance and crude amusements are flaws
\nin the character of an unfit king.
\nKural 433<\/p>\n
Though their fault be as small as a millet seed,
\nto those who dread disgrace it will appear as large as a palm tree.
\nKural 434<\/p>\n
One’s own faults are one’s mortal enemies.
\nIt follows that to guard against them is life’s gravest concern.
\nKural 435<\/p>\n
The good fortune of a man who does not guard against failings
\nbefore they manifest will perish like a stack of straw before a fire.
\nKural 436<\/p>\n
What fault remains in a king who expunges his own faults
\nbefore examining the faults in others?
\nKural 437<\/p>\n
The wealth of him who, out of avarice, fails to do what
\nshould be done will vanish without the slightest vestige.
\nKural 438<\/p>\n
When all faults are reckoned, one remains unrivaled:
\nthe greedy grasping known as avarice.
\nKural 439<\/p>\n
Never indulge in admiring yourself.
\nNever be drawn toward deeds that do not benefit others.
\nKural 440<\/p>\n
Delighting in life’s pleasures in guarded privacy
\nnullifies the conspiring schemes of enemies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
