  • Everywhere, truly,


    those of integrity


    stand apart.


    They, the good,


    don’t chatter in hopes


    of favor or gains.


    When touched


    now by pleasure,


    now pain,


    the wise give no sign


    of high


    or low.


    -Dhammapada, 6, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
