Dhammapada 107 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

8 - Sahassavaggo, Thousands
6 - Sariputtattherassa bhagineyya Vatthu

Yo ca vassasatam jantu, aggim paricare vane.
ekanca bhavitattanam, muhuttamapi pujaye.
sa yeva pujana seyyo, yance vassasatam hutam.

107: For a hundred years, a man may tend the sacred fire in the forest: 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 sacrifices (in fire-worship).
