From the Dhammapada (short sayings of the Buddha):
50. Let none find fault with others; let none see the
omissions and commissions of others. But let one
see one’s own acts, done and undone.
61. Should a seeker not find a companion who is better
or equal, let him resolutely pursue a solitary
course; there is no fellowship with the fool.
64. Though all his life a fool associates with a wise
man, he no more comprehends the Truth than a
spoon tastes the flavor of the soup.
67. Ill done is that action of doing which one repents
later, and the fruit of which one, weeping, reaps
with tears.
81. As a single slab of rock won’t budge in the wind,
so the wise are not moved by praise, by blame.
83. Everywhere, truly, those of integrity stand apart.
They, the good, don’t chatter in hopes of favor or gains.
When touched now by pleasure, now pain,
the wise give no sign of high or low.
