Dhammapada Verse 23.2

Sanskrit Verse

दान्तं नयन्ति समितिं दान्तं राजाऽभिरोहति । दान्तः श्रेष्ठा मनुष्येषु योतिवाक्यं तितिक्षसे ॥ २॥

Bhikkhu Ānandajoti's translation

A tamed elephant can be led into a crowd, and the king mounts a tamed elephant. So too, best among humans is the subdued one who endures abuse.
