Zarathustra sings

Verily, I believed Thee, O Ahura Mazda, to be the supreme benevolent Providence,

When Sraosha came to me with the Good Mind, and told me assuringly,

That a contented mind is the best possession;

Let not a leader try to please and propitiate evil-doers,

For they treat the righteous as harmful enemies.

(From the book ''The Divine Songs of Zarathustra'' 

by D.J. Irani and Sir Rabindranath Tagore, first published in 1924)
