[pinkypin123]

I--like an elephant in battle,
enduring an arrow shot from a bow--
will endure a false accusation,
for the mass of people
have no principles.

The tamed is the one
they take into assemblies.
The tamed is the one
the king mounts.
The tamed who endures a false accusation
is, among human beings,
the best.

-Dhammapada, 23, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
