Dhammapada · 2.8

Pamādaṃ appamādena, yadā nudati paṇḍito;Paññāpāsādamāruyha, asoko sokiniṃ pajaṃ;Pabbataṭṭhova bhumaṭṭhe, dhīro bāle avekkhati.

pamadam appamadena, yada nudati pandito; pannapasadam-aruyha, asoko sokinim pajam; pabbatattho-va bhumatthe, dhiro bale avekkhati.

When the wise one dispels heedlessness with heedfulness and ascends the tower of wisdom, sorrowless they look down upon the sorrowing throng — as one on a mountain looks down upon those on the plain.
