Dhammapada · 17.9

Yaṃ ce viññū pasaṃsanti, anuvicca suve suve;Acchiddavuttiṃ medhāviṃ, paññāsīlasamāhitaṃ.

Yam ce vinnu pasamsanti, anuvicca suve suve; Acchiddavuttim medhavim, pannasilasamahitam.

But the one whom the wise praise, having examined day after day — one of flawless conduct, wise, endowed with wisdom and virtue — this is the only praise worth seeking.
