Dhammapada · 23.9

Sace labhetha nipakaṃ sahāyaṃ, saddhiṃcaraṃ sādhuvihāridhīraṃ;Abhibhuyya sabbāni parissayāni, careyya tenattamano satīmā.

Sace labhetha nipakam sahayam, saddhincaram sadhuviharidhiram; Abhibhuyya sabbani parissayani, careyya tenattamano satima.

If you find a prudent companion to walk with — wise, of good conduct — overcoming all dangers, walk with him, content and mindful.

— Dhammapada 23.9
