Dhammapada 102, 103 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

8 - Sahassavaggo, Thousands
3 - Kundalakesitheri Vatthu

Yo ca gatha satam bhase, anatthapadasamhita;
ekam dhammapadam seyyo, yam sutva upasammati.
Yo sahassam sahassena, sangame manuse jine;
ekanca jeyyamattanam, sa ve sangamajuttamo.

102: Better than the recitation of a hundred verses that are senseless and unconnected with the realization of Nibbana, is the recitation of a single verse of the Teaching (Dhamma), if on hearing it one is calmed.
103: A man may conquer a million men in battle, but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.
