Sanskrit: श्रेयश्च प्रेयश्च मनुष्यमेतःतौ सम्परीत्य विविनक्ति धीरः ।  श्रेयो हि धीरोऽभि प्रेयसो वृणीतेप्रेयो मन्दो योगक्षेमाद्वृणीते  
English: 2  Both the good and the pleasant present themselves to a man. The calm soul examines them well and discriminates. Yea, he prefers the good to the pleasant; but the fool chooses the pleasant out of greed and avarice.
