māse māse kusaggena bālo bhuñjetha bhojanaṃ /
na so saṃkhatadhammānaṃ kalaṃ nāgghati soḷasiṃ. //

Let a fool month after month eat his food (like an ascetic) with the tip of a blade of Kusa grass, yet he is not worth the sixteenth particle of those who have well weighed the law.

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