Dhammapada 80 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


6 - Panditavagga, The Wise
5 - Panditasamanera Vatthu
Udakam hi nayanti nettika,
usukara namayanti tejanam;

darum namayanti tacchaka,
attanam damayanti pandita.

80: Farmers (lit., makers of irrigation canals ) channel the water; fletchers straighten the arrow; carpenters work the timber; the Wise tame themselves.
