குறள் 307

சினத்தைப் பொருளென்று கொண்டவன் கேடு
நிலத்தறைந்தான் கைபிழையா தற்று.                                

Stanza:

A wrathful man’s ruin is as hurtful and sure
At the earth struck with one’s hand.

Meaning:

Destruction will come upon him who regards anger as a good thing, as surely as the hand of him who strikes the ground will not fail.
