So much for those that set their deluded hearts on Fame and Profit. All things are Nothing—unworthy of speech, unworthy of desire.
まよひの心をもちて名利の要を求むるに、かくの如し。萬事はみな非なり。いふに足らず、願ふに足らず。

Quoted in Encyclopedia Nipponica: 万事は皆、非なり。言ふに足らず。願ふに足らず | If, in your delusion, you seek fame and profit, the results will be as I have described. All is unreality. Nothing is worth discussing, worth desiring. (tr. Keene, 1967)
