Today · Thirukkural · verse 792 · Discipline

ஆய்ந்தாய்ந்து கொள்ளாதான் கேண்மை கடைமுறை தான்சாம் துயரம் தரும்.

Āynthāynthu kolladhān kēnmai kadaimuṛai / Thān sām thuyaram tharum.

Friendship with one who examines yet refuses to heed will, in the end, bring suffering upon yourself.

Choose your companions as you would choose your principles—those who listen and adjust their course are allies; those who merely perform deliberation while clinging to folly are anchors to your own ruin.
