Dhammapada 73-74 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

5 - Balavagga, The Fool
14 - Cittagahapati Vatthu

Asantam bhavanamiccheyya, purekkharanca bhikkhusu;
avasesu ca issariyam, pujam parakulesu ca.
Mameva kata mannantu, gihi pabbajita ubho;
mamevativasa assu, kiccakiccesu kismici;
iti balassa sankappo, iccha mano ca vaddhati.

73: The foolish bhikkhu desires praise for qualities he does not have, precedence among bhikkhus, authority in the monasteries, and veneration from those unrelated to him.
74: "Let both laymen and bhikkhus think that things are done because of me; let them obey me in all matters, great and small." Such being the thoughts of the fool, his greed and his pride grow.
