Learn Completely! Learn thoroughly!
Valluvan, in his aphoristic couplets, did not merely stress on the importance of learning, he stressed on the importance of learning without any flaws.
Similarly, Nalladiyar, another poet of the Sangam age, elucidates that even a person hailing form a low economic stature when educated would be respected and treated as a person of high economic stature.( கடைநிலத்தோ ராயினும் கற்றறிந்தோரைத் தலைநிலத்து வைக்கப்படும் )
Thamizh is the first civilized society which advocated the importance of education and insisted on educating the whole of mankind.
