THE KURAL
576. Behold the men whose eyes show not consideration towards others : verily they are no better than the trees of the earth.
577. Verily they are blind, those who are not considerate towards others : and there are none that truly see but are indulgent to others' faults.
578. Behold the man who can be considerate towards others without derogating from any of his duties : he will inherit the earth.
579. It is nobility to forbear and show indulgence even unto those that have offended thee.
580. Those who desire to be styled the very pink of courtesy will drink off even the poison that hath been mixed for them before their very eyes.
