Dhammapada · 19.2

Asāhasena dhammena, samena nayatī pare;Dhammassa gutto medhāvī, dhammaṭṭhoti pavuccati.

Asahasena dhammena, samena nayati pare; Dhammassa gutto medhavi, dhammatthoti pavuccati.

The wise one who guides others without haste, by Dhamma, with impartiality — guarded by Dhamma, intelligent — is called 'established in Dhamma.'
