Dhammapada · 5.2

Carañce nādhigaccheyya, seyyaṃ sadisamattano;Ekacariyaṃ daḷhaṃ kayirā, natthi bāle sahāyatā.

Carance nadhigaccheyya, seyyam sadisamattano; Ekacariyam dalham kayira, natthi bale sahayata.

If on your wandering you do not find an equal or a superior companion, walk alone resolutely — there is no companionship with a fool.

— Dhammapada 5.2
