1)

28. When the learned man drives away vanity by earnestness,
       he, the wise, climbing the terraced heights of wisdom,
       looks down upon the fools, serene he looks upon the
           toiling crowd,
       as one that stands on a mountain looks down upon them
            that stand upon the plain.

-- Translation by F. Max Müller from The Dhammapada, p. 10,
     Vol. X of The Sacred Books of the East, 1881

2)

27. When the learned man thrusts away carelessness by carefulness,
climbing on to the palace of knowledge, he gazes griefless on the
grieving people. The wise man gazes down on fools as one standing
on a mountain gazes down on those standing on the ground (below).
