Folly
ஓதி உணர்ந்தும் பிறர்க்குரைத்தும் தானடங்காப்

Odhi Unarndhum Pirarkkuraiththum Thaanatangaap / Pedhaiyin Pedhaiyaar Il
English
No fool equals the fool who learns Knows, teaches, but self-control spurns
— The sacred law he reads and learns, to other men expounds,-Himself obeys not; where can greater fool be found
There are no greater fools than he who, though he has read and understood (a great deal) and even taught it to others, does not walk according to his own teaching
