# तिरुक्कुरल 121

*संयम व्यक्ति को ऊँचा उठाता है; संयम का अभाव उसे कहीं भी फेंक देता है।*

அடக்கம் அமரருள் உய்க்கும் அடங்காமை ஆரிடத்து உய்த்து விடும்.

*atakkam amararul uykkum atangamai aridattu uyttu vidum.*

Restraint lifts one high; lack of restraint throws one anywhere.

Self-control as mental hygiene — same family as yama and as emotion regulation, not as humiliation of a panic attack.
