Dhammapada Verses 268 & 269: The Muni
Dhammapada verse(s) in Pali:
Verse 268
na monena munī hoti, mūḷharūpo aviddasu.
yo ca tulaṃva paggayha, varamādāya paṇḍito.
Verse 269
pāpāni parivajjeti, sa munī tena so muni.
yo munāti ubho loke, “muni” tena pavuccati.
English translation of verse(s):
Verse 268
Not by observing silence does one become a sage, if he be foolish and ignorant. But that man is wise who, as if holding a balance-scale accepts only the good.
Verse 269
The sage (thus) rejecting the evil, is truly a sage. Since he comprehends both (present and future) worlds, he is called a sage.
(Translated by Acharya Buddharakkhita)
