Sabbattha ve sappurisā cajanti na kāma-kāmā lapayanti santo
Sukhena phuṭṭhā atha vā dukhena na ucc'āvacaṃ paṇḍitā dassayanti.
83
Na atta-hetu na parassa hetu na puttam icche na dhanaṃ na raṭṭhaṃ
Na iccheyya adhammena samiddhim attano sa sīlavā paññavā dhammiko
siyā.

If, whether for his own sake, or for the sake of others, a man wishes neither for a son, nor for wealth, nor for lordship, and if he does not wish for his own success by unfair means, then he is good, wise, and virtuous.

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