1.28.82

viṣād apy amṛtaṃ grāhyam
amedhyād api kāñcanam |
nīcād apy uttamāṃ vidyāṃ
strī-ratnaṃ duṣkulād api ||[GarP 1.110] iti hi smaryate |

'Even from poison, nectar should be taken; / even from an impure place, gold; / even from a lowborn person, highest knowledge; / and an excellent woman, even from a base family'—so indeed it is remembered in tradition."
