Bālavaggo pañcamo
6. Paṇḍitavagga
nidhīnaṃ va pavattāraṃ yaṃ passe vajjadassinaṃ /
niggayhavādiṃ medhāviṃ tādisaṃ paṇḍitaṃ bhaje, /
tādisaṃ bhajamānassa seyyo hoti na pāpiyo. //

If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are to be found, who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs, follow that wise man; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him.

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