Dhammapada 106 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

8 - Sahassavaggo, Thousands
5 - Sariputtattherassa Matula Brahmana Vatthu

Mase mase sahassena, yo vajetha satam samam;
ekanca bhivatattanam, muhuttamapi pujaye;
sa yeva pujana seyyo, yance vassasatam hutam.

106: Month after month for a hundred years, one may make offerings (to ordinary people) to the value of a thousand Kahapanas; yet if, only for a moment one pays homage to a bhikkhu who has practised Insight Development, this homage is, indeed, better than a hundred years of making offerings (to ordinary people).

Dhammapada 104, 105 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

8 - Sahassavaggo, Thousands
4 - Anatthapucchakabrahmana Vatthu

Atta have jitam seyyo, ya cayam itara paja;
attadantassa posassa, niccam sannatacarino. 
Neva devo na gandhabbo, na Maro saha Brahmuna;
jitam apajitam kayira, tatharupassa jantuno. 

104 & 105: It is better indeed, to conquer oneself than to conquer others. Neither a deva, nor a gandhabba, nor Mara together with Brahma can turn into defeat the victory of the man who controls himself.
