Kural 121<\/p>\n

\"\"Self-control will place one among the Gods,
\nwhile lack of it will lead to deepest darkness.
\nKural 122<\/p>\n

Guard your self-control as a precious treasure,
\nfor there is no greater wealth in life than this.
\nKural 123<\/p>\n

Comprehending and acquiring self-control
\nconfers upon one the esteem of wise men.
\nKural 124<\/p>\n

More imposing than a mountain is the greatness of a man who,
\nsteadfast in domestic life, has mastered self-control.
\nKural 125<\/p>\n

Humility is a precious quality in all people,
\nbut it has a rare richness in the rich.
\nKural 126<\/p>\n

Like a tortoise withdrawing five limbs into its shell, those who
\nrestrain the five senses in one life will find safe shelter for seven.
\nKural 127<\/p>\n

Whatever you may fail to guard, guard well your tongue,
\nfor flawed speech unfailingly invokes anguish and affliction.
\nKural 128<\/p>\n

The goodness of all one’s virtues can be lost
\nby speaking even a single word of injury.
\nKural 129<\/p>\n

The wound caused by fire heals in its time;
\nthe burn inflicted by an inflamed tongue never heals.
\nKural 130<\/p>\n

Virtue will wait in the streets to meet a man
\npossessed of learning and self-discipline, his anger subdued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
