Kural 376
ஊழ்
Fate
பரியினும் ஆகாவாம் பாலல்ல உய்த்துச்
சொரியினும் போகா தம.
Pariyinum Aakaavaam Paalalla Uyththuch / Choriyinum Pokaa Thama
English
Things not thine never remain Things destined are surely thine
— Things not your own will yield no good, howe'er you guard with pain;Your own, howe'er you scatter them abroad, will yours remain
Whatever is not conferred by fate cannot be preserved although it be guarded with most painful care; and that, which fate has made his, cannot be lost, although one should even take it and throw it away
