Kural 921<\/p>\n
Those who crave intoxicating drink each day
\nwill never be feared and never find fame.
\nKural 922<\/p>\n
Do not drink liquor. If some wish to, let it be those
\nwho have no wish for the esteem of exemplary men.
\nKural 923<\/p>\n
The sight of a drunken man’s revelry is unbearable
\neven to his own mother. How, then, must it appear to the wise?
\nKural 924<\/p>\n
The virtuous damsel called Decency will turn her back
\non men who indulge in the vile vice called drunkenness.
\nKural 925<\/p>\n
Spending one’s wealth to purchase self-oblivion
\nresults from being oblivious to proper conduct.
\nKural 926<\/p>\n
Those who always sleep are akin to the dead.
\nThose who constantly drink are like men who take poison.
\nKural 927<\/p>\n
The drooping eyes of those who secretly drink betray that secret,
\nevoking their neighbor’s relentless ridicule.
\nKural 928<\/p>\n
Stop denying, ”I never drink,” for next time you drink,
\nyour mind’s hidden deception will be betrayed then and there.
\nKural 929<\/p>\n
One may as well carry a candle under water to search for
\na drowned man as use reason to sober a drunk drowned in drink.
\nKural 930<\/p>\n
Why can’t the drunkard who, when sober, sees another’s drunken
\nstupor realize the degrading shame of his own drunkenness?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
