Dhammapada 29 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

II- Appamadavagga, Heedfulness
6 - Dvesahayakabhikkhu Vatthu

Appamatto pamattesu, suttesu bahujagaro;
abalassa mva sighasso, hitva yati sumedhaso.

29: Mindful amongst the negligent, highly vigilant amongst the drowsy, the man of wisdom advances like a race-horse, leaving the jade behind.
