Hindu and Muslim Wisdom

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

It is improper to ever forget a kindness, But good to forget at once an injury received. The deadliest injury is effaced the moment The mind recalls a single kindness received from the injurer.

- Tirukkural 11:108-109


The most upright among you are those who carry themselves with the finest conduct.

- The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Abd'Allah bin Amr

However prosperous it may seem, all wealth gained By loss of rightness must be relinquished that very day.

- Tirukkural 113
