Tiruvalluvar, Tirukural — Chapter 67 - Power in Action (1886)
“ The world desires not men of every power possessed, Who power in act desire not,- crown of all the rest. The great will not esteem those who esteem not firmness of action, whatever other abilities the latter may possess. ”
Tiruvalluvar, Tirukural — Chapter 67 - Power in Action (1886)
“ The firmness in action of those who have become great by the excellence (of their counsel) will, by attaining its fulfilment in the person of the king, be esteemed (by all) . 666 Whate'er men think, ev'n as they think, may men obtain, If those who think can steadfastness of will retain. If those who have planned (an undertaking) possess firmness (in executing it) they will obtain what they have desired even as they have desired it. ”
