for modern minds.
Two thousand years of Tamil philosophy, rendered in a modern Stoic voice. One verse a day. Or a whole library at your own pace.
Today · Thirukkural · verse 731 · Wealth
தள்ளா விளையுளும் தக்காரும் தாழ்விலாச் செல்வரும் சேர்வது நாடு.
Thallā vilaiuyulum thakkārum thāzhvilāch / selvarum sērvatu nādu.
Those who give without stint, those deserving of trust, and the wealthy who show no arrogance—when such men dwell together, a kingdom is built.
A state thrives not by the accumulation of riches alone, but by the character of those who hold them: the generous accept their fortune as a tool for the common good, while the proud squander both their station and the kingdom's peace. What you own means nothing; how you use it in concert with others is everything.
