“Think not of the faults of others, of what they have done or not done.
Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but has no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.
And just like a beautiful flower which has color and also has perfume are the beautiful fruitful words of the man who speaks and does what he says.
As from a large heap of flowers many garlands and wreaths can be made, so by a mortal in this life there is much good work to be done.”
Excerpt – The Dhammapada, The Path of Perfection (1st Century)
