Dhammapada · Chapter 8: The Thousands

Dhammapada 8.106

translated from Pāli by F. Max Müller, 1881

If a man for a hundred years sacrifice month after month with a thousand, and if he but for one moment pay homage to a man whose soul is grounded (in true knowledge), better is that homage than sacrifice for a hundred years.
