sahassam api ce gāthā anatthapadasaṃhitā /
ekaṃ gāthāpadaṃ seyyo yaṃ sutvā upasammati. //

Even though a Gâthâ (poem) be a thousand (of words), but made up of senseless words, one word of a Gâthâ is better, which if a man hears, he becomes quiet.

Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
