Dhammapada · 15.8

Ārogyaparamā lābhā, santuṭṭhi paramaṃ dhanaṃ;Vissāsa paramā ñāti, nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ.

Arogyaparama labha, santutthi paramam dhanam; Vissasa parama nati, nibbanam paramam sukham.

Health is the highest gain. Contentment is the supreme wealth. Trust is the best kinsman. Nibbana is the supreme bliss.
