“ As this world is not for those who are without wealth, so that world is not for those who are without kindness.
Kural-248
Who lose the flower of wealth, when seasons change, again may bloom;
Who lose 'benevolence', lose all; nothing can change their doom.
Those who are without wealth may, at some future time, become prosperous; those who are destitute of kindness are utterly destitute; for them there is no change. ”

“ Wealth 'mid wealth is wealth 'kindliness';
Wealth of goods the vilest too possess.
The wealth of kindness is wealth of wealth, in as much as the wealth of property is possessed by the basest of men. ”

“ Think how you felt in presence of some stronger foe.
When a man is about to rush upon those who are weaker than himself, let him remember how he has stood (trembling) before those who are stronger than himself. ”
