Dhammapada 83 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


6 - Panditavagga, The Wise
8 - Pancasatabhikkhu Vatthu
Sabbattha ye sappurisa cajanti,
na kamakama lapayanti santo;

sukhena phuttha atha va dukhena,
na uccavacam pandita dassayanti.

83: Indeed, the virtuous give up all (i.e., attachment to the five khandhas, etc.); the virtuous (lit., the tranquil) do not talk with sensual desire; when faced with joy or sorrow, the wise do not show elation or depression.
