84

Na attahetu na parassa hetu,
Na puttamicche na dhanaṃ na raṭṭhaṃ;
Na iccheyya adhammena samiddhimattano,
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)
