Paṇḍito sīlasampanno
jalaṃ aggīva bhāsati;
bhoge saṃharamānassa
bhamarasseva irīyato.
One who is virtuous and wise
shines forth like a blazing fire;
like a bee collecting nectar
one acquires wealth by harming none.
Dīgha Nikāya 3.265
Gemstones of the Good Dhamma,
compiled and translated by Ven. S. Dhammika
