Na jaṭāhi na gottena na jaccā hoti brāhmaṇo
Yamhi saccaṃ ca dhammo ca so sucī so ca brāhmaṇo.

A man does not become a Brâhmana by his platted hair, by his family, or by birth; in whom there is truth and righteousness, he is blessed, he is a Brâhmana.

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