28

Pamādaṃ appamādena,
yadā nudati paṇḍito;
Paññāpāsādamāruyha,
asoko sokiniṃ pajaṃ;
Pabbataṭṭhova bhūmaṭṭhe,
dhīro bāle avekkhati.

When the learned man drives away vanity by earnestness, he, the wise, climbing the terraced heights of wisdom, looks down upon the fools, serene he looks upon the toiling crowd, as one that stands on a mountain looks down upon them that stand upon the plain.

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