Dhammapada · 6.9

Na attahetu na parassa hetu, na puttamicche na dhanaṃ na raṭṭhaṃ;Na iccheyya adhammena samiddhimattano, sa sīlavā paññavā dhammiko siyā.

Na attahetu na parassa hetu, na puttamicche na dhanam na rattham; Na iccheyya adhammena samiddhimattano, sa silava pannava dhammiko siya.

Not for one's own sake, nor for another's, should one desire a son, wealth, or kingdom by unrighteous means. The truly wise are virtuous, discerning, and righteous.
