Thirukkural 860

by Thiruvalluvar

இகலானாம் இன்னாத எல்லாம் நகலானாம் நன்னயம் என்னும் செருக்கு.

Ikalāṉām iṉṉāt ellām nakalāṉām Naṉṉayam eṉṉum serukku.

All that is vile and unpleasant becomes bearable when arrogance calls it virtue. / The pride that names cruelty "righteousness" dissolves the discernment between harm and good.
