Dhammapada 64-65

The Dhammapada. The Fool.

VERSE 64If a fool be associated with a wise man even all his life, he will perceive the truth as little as a spoon perceives the taste of soup.

VERSE 65If an intelligent man be associated for one minute only with a wise man, he will soon perceive the truth, as the tongue perceives the taste of soup.

May all beings be happy and at peace.
