Better than a thousand

Hollow words

Is one word that brings peace.

Better than a thousand

Hollow verses

Is one verse that brings peace.

Better than a hundred

Hollow lines

Is one line of the law,

Bringing peace.

It is better to

Conquer yourself

Than to win a thousand battles.

Then the victory is yours.

- The Dhammapada
