Dhammapada 64 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


5 - Balavagga, The Fool
5 - Udayitthera Vatthu

Yavajivampi ce balo, panditam payirupasati;
na so dhammam vijanati, dabbi suparasam yatha.
64: A fool, even though he is associated with a wise man all his life, does not understand the Dhamma, just as a ladle does not know the taste of soup.
