Thirukkural 630 in English

Laugh away troubles; there is No other way to conquer woes

Deluging sorrows come to nought When wise men face them with firm thought

Grief they face and put to grief Who grieve not grief by mind's relief

Who pulls like bulls patiently on Causes grief to grieve anon

Before the brave grief grieves and goes Who dare a host of pressing woes

The wise that never gloat in gain Do not fret in fateful ruin

The wise worry no more of woes Knowing body's butt of sorrows

Who seek not joy, deem grief norm By sorrows do not come to harm

In joy to joy who is not bound In grief he grieves not dual round!
