There was a philosopher from the USA
Who was always charging into the fray.
He’d take either side --
Go deep or go wide --
So long as said fray didn’t come to gunplay.

Conflicted Botanist Limerick

Thiruvalluvar was a Tamil poet and philosopher who is most famous for writing a tract on ethics called the Thirukkural. The Thirukkural is written as a series of couplets that comment on ethics, morality, and philosophy.
Here is a random couplet from Thirukkural:
He who with firmness curbs the five restrains
Is seed for soil of yonder happy plains
