Dhammapada Verse 5.2

Sanskrit Verse

चरन् चेत् नाधिगच्छेत् श्रेयांसं सदृशं आत्मनः । एकचर्यां दृढं कुर्यात् नाऽस्ति बाले सहायता ॥ २॥

Bhikkhu Ānandajoti's translation

Should a seeker not find a companion who is his better or equal, let him resolutely pursue a solitary course; there is no fellowship with a fool.
