962. Contempt counts twice

ஒருவனை ஈனமென் றெண்ணினான் தன்னுள்இருவரை ஈனமென் றான்

oruvanai eenamen renninaan thannuliruvarai eenamen raan

Whoever, in his own heart, has judged one man base has called two men base.

963. Receiving without disgrace

கையேற்றான் என்றிகழ்வார் கண்ணிலார் கையேற்றான்நெய்யேற்ற தீபம் எனல்

kaiyetraan endrikazhvaar kannilaar kaiyetraanneyyetra theepam enal

Those who sneer that he held out his hand see nothing; call the man who held out his hand a lamp being filled with ghee.

Ghee, clarified butter, is the fuel of traditional Tamil lamps: a lamp gives light only by taking it in.
