Kural 641<\/p>\n
Among a man’s many good possessions,
\nnone can equal having a good tongue.
\nKural 642<\/p>\n
Prosperity and ruin issue from the power of the tongue.
\nTherefore, guard yourself against thoughtless speech.
\nKural 643<\/p>\n
The substance of artful speech holds friends spell-bound,
\nand its eloquence enchants even enemies.
\nKural 644<\/p>\n
Judge the nature of your listeners and speak accordingly.
\nThere is nothing more virtuous or valuable than this.
\nKural 645<\/p>\n
Speak out your speech after ascertaining that
\nno speech can be spoken to refute that speech.
\nKural 646<\/p>\n
To speak so that listeners long to hear more and to listen so that
\nothers’ meaning is grasped are ideals of the impeccably great.
\nKural 647<\/p>\n
In a war of words, none can defeat a persuasive man
\nwho never succumbs to fear or forgetfulness.
\nKural 648<\/p>\n
Upon finding men whose forceful speech is couched
\nin cogent and enchanting ways, the world swiftly gathers around.
\nKural 649<\/p>\n
Unaware of the artful use of a few flawless words,
\nmen become enamored with excessive verbiage.
\nKural 650<\/p>\n
Men who cannot communicate their knowledge to others
\nresemble a bouquet of unfragrant flowers in full bloom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
