Thousands

Better than a thousand hollow words
Is 1 word that brings peace.

Better than a thousand hollow verses
Is 1 verse that brings peace.

Better than a thousand hollow lines
Is 1 line of the law, bringing peace.

It is better to conquer 1-self
Than to win a thousand battles.

-Excerpts from "The Thousands" of the Dhammampada
