Dhammapada · Chapter 6: The Wise Man (Pandita)

Dhammapada 6.84

translated from Pāli by F. Max Müller, 1881

If, whether for his own sake, or for the sake of others, a man wishes neither for a son, nor for wealth, nor for lordship, and if he does not wish for his own success by unfair means, then he is good, wise, and virtuous.
