101

Sahassamapi ce gāthā,
anatthapadasaṃhitā;
Ekaṃ gāthāpadaṃ seyyo,
yaṃ sutvā upasammati.

Even though a Gâthâ (poem) be a thousand (of words), but made up of senseless words, one word of a Gâthâ is better, which if a man hears, he becomes quiet.

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