Dhammapada 320 - 322

Verse 320:
As an elephant in battlefield withstands the arrow shot from a bow,
so shall I endure abuse.

Indeed, many people are without morality.


Verse 321:
Only the trained (horses and elephants) are led to gatherings of people;
the King mounts only the well trained & well tamed horses and elephants.
Noblest among men are the tamed, who can endure abuse.


Verse 322:
Quite excellent are well trained and completely tamed
Elephants and full-blooded horses,

yet far better is the one,
who have tamed himself
