Dhammapada · Chapter 26: The Brahmana (Arhat)

Dhammapada 26.396

translated from Pāli by F. Max Müller, 1881

I do not call a man a Brahmana because of his origin or of his mother. He is indeed arrogant, and he is wealthy: but the poor, who is free from all attachments, him I call indeed a Brahmana.
