6. Paṇḍita-vagga
Nidhīnaṃ va pavattāraṃ yaṃ passe vajja-dassinaṃ
Niggayha-vādiṃ 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)
