Dhammapada 53 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


4 - Pupphavagga, Flowers
8 - Visakha Vatthu

Yathapi puppharasimha, kayira malagune bahu;
evam jatena maccena, kattabbam kusalam bahum.
53: As from a collection of flowers many a garland can be made by an expert florist, so also, much good can be done (with wealth, out of faith and generosity) by one subject to birth and death.
