Kural 501<\/p>\n
Pick that man who passes a four-fold test:
\nhow he handles virtue, wealth, pleasure and loss of life.
\nKural 502<\/p>\n
Place trust in a man of good family, free from faults,
\nwith a modest nature that dreads reproach.
\nKural 503<\/p>\n
Even faultless, deeply learned men, when closely examined,
\nare rarely found to be entirely free from ignorance.
\nKural 504<\/p>\n
Weigh a man’s merits and weigh his faults,
\nthen judge him according to the greater.
\nKural 505<\/p>\n
The touchstone that discloses a man’s greatness
\nor smallness is simply this: his deeds.
\nKural 506<\/p>\n
Beware of trusting men who have no kin.
\nUnattached to people, they are unashamed of misdeeds.
\nKural 507<\/p>\n
When a man employs a know-nothing out of affection,
\nhe engages all kinds of foolishness.
\nKural 508<\/p>\n
To trust a stranger without investigation invites troubles
\nso endless that even descendants must endure them.
\nKural 509<\/p>\n
Without investigation, trust no one. Having investigated,
\nentrust a man with matters for which he is trustworthy.
\nKural 510<\/p>\n
To trust a man who has not been tested and to suspect a man
\nwho has proven trustworthy lead alike to endless ills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
