…pe… Assaddho hoti, dussīlo hoti, kusīto hoti, duppañño hoti …pe… saddho hoti, sīlavā hoti, āraddhavīriyo hoti, paññavā hoti—“A foolish person … creates much wickedness. … They’re faithless, unethical, lazy, and witless. … An astute person … creates much merit. … They’re faithful, ethical, energetic, and wise.
imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato paṇḍito viyatto sappuriso akkhataṁ anupahataṁ attānaṁ pariharati, anavajjo ca hoti ananuvajjo viññūnaṁ, bahuñca puññaṁ pasavatī”ti. When an astute, competent true person has these four qualities they keep themselves intact and unscathed. They don’t deserve to be blamed and criticized by sensible people, and they create much merit.”
