THE KURAL

106. Disregard not the friendship of the holy ones : forsake not those that succoured thee in difficulty.

107. He that hath relieved from affliction shall be remembered with gratitude in every birth.

108. It is ignoble to forget a kindness : but an ill turn received it is the part of nobility to forget at once.

109. The mortallest injury is forgiven the moment the mind recalleth a single kindness received from the injurer.

110. There is redemption for men who are guilty of every other crime: but the ingrate wretch shall know of none.
