திருக்குறள்
மனத்தொடு வாய்மை மொழியின் தவத்தொடு தானஞ்செய் வாரின் தலை. Manaththotu Vaaimai Mozhiyin Thavaththotu Thaananjey Vaarin Thalai
“To speak the truth from heart sincere Is more than giving and living austere”
Greater is he who speaks the truth with full consenting mindThan men whose lives have penitence and charity combined
