propriety.KURAL 956Those committed to their family's flawless famedare not commit deceitful, dishonorable deeds.KURAL 957In high-born men, blemishes are clearly seen,just as the moon's elevation makes it more visible.KURAL 958When a man with good background lacks loving affection,doubts arise whether he arose from that family.KURAL 959The nature of a soil is known by the seedlings it sprouts.The nature of a man's family is known by the words he speaks.KURAL 960Those desiring greatness must desire modesty. Those seekingtheir family's honor must seek to be respectful to all.~~~~~~~~~To send an empty message, with any subject header, to gurudeva-kural-Then just "reply" to the confirmation request and you will be d.~~~~~~~~~Forward the Kurals to a friend!
