Dhammapada

"Be quiet,

And loving and fearless.

For the mind talks.

But the body knows.

Gray hairs do not make a master.

A man may grow old in vain.

The true master lives in truth,

In goodness and restraint,

Non-violence, moderation and purity.

Fine words or fine features

Cannot make a master

Out of a jealous and greedy man.

Only when envy and selfishness

Are rooted out of him

May he grow in beauty"
