  N ot by-passing arbitrary judgments does a man become just; a wise man is he who investigates both right and wrong.   He who does not judge others arbitrarily, but passes judgment impartially according to the truth, that sagacious man is a guardian of law and is called just.   One is not wise because one speaks much. He who is peaceable, friendly and fearless is called wise.  A man is not versed in Dhamma because he speaks much. He who, after hearing a little Dhamma, realizes its truth directly and is not heedless of it, is truly versed in the Dhamma. T he Dhammapada: Verses 256 - 259
