Kural 871<\/p>\n
So accursed is the thing called hatred that one
\nshould never wish for it–even in jest.
\nKural 872<\/p>\n
It is bad enough to incur the enmity of those who live by the bow,
\nbut never provoke the hatred of those who sow and reap with words.
\nKural 873<\/p>\n
One man who, all by himself, arouses hatred in many
\nis crazier than any lunatic.
\nKural 874<\/p>\n
The world abides beneath the greatness
\nof noble-natured rulers who befriend even their enemies.
\nKural 875<\/p>\n
Finding that he faces two foes and has no allies,
\na lone man lures one to side with him.
\nKural 876<\/p>\n
When distress dawns, neither draw near nor depart from
\nnew friends and foes–rather, leave them alone.
\nKural 877<\/p>\n
Never tell your troubles to those who cannot comprehend them,
\nnor expose your weaknesses to your enemies.
\nKural 878<\/p>\n
Engineer a plan, execute that plan well and ensure
\nyour security–thus is the joy of rivals forever ruined.
\nKural 879<\/p>\n
Chop down a thorny tree while it is young.
\nLeft to grow mature, it will one day cut the cutter’s hand.
\nKural 880<\/p>\n
Those who fail to quell a hostile rival’s pride
\nwill be blown away by the mere fact that he still breathes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
