Attram maraikkum perumai sirumai
Puratthe koduthal undu.
Greatness covers (one's own) flaw; smallness reveals it by giving it to others (by gossiping).
பெருமை குறைகளை மறைக்கும்; சிறுமை மற்றவர் குற்றத்தை வெளியிடும்.
Greatness hides flaws (one's own and others'); smallness exposes others' flaws through gossip. The small person uses gossip to feel larger by comparison. The great person is already large enough to cover rather than expose.
