"Na paresam vilomani
na paresam katakatam
attanova avekkheyya
katani akatani ca."

( #Dhammapada , Paveyya ajivaka Vatthu)

One should not consider the faults of others, nor their doing or not doing good or bad deeds.
One should consider only whether one has done or not done good or bad deeds.

"Saccaṁ bhaṇe, na kujjheyya,
dajjāppasmim-pi yācito,
etehi tīhi ṭhānehi
gacche devāna’ santike."

(Dhammapada, Mahamoggallanapanha Vatthu)

One should utter the truth.
One should not be angry.
One should give even
from a scanty store to him who asks.
Along these three paths,
one may go to the presence of the gods.

"Yathāpi mūle anupaddave daḷhe,
chinnopi rukkho punareva rūhati;
Evampi taṇhānusaye anūhate,
nibbattatī dukkhamidaṃ punappunaṃ."

(Dhammapada, Tanhavagga)

As roots remain undamaged and strong,
Even a tree, when cut down grows again,
In the same way, as long as the latent tendency of craving is not rooted out,
Dukkha (of birth, ageing, and death) will spring up again and again.

"Ye dhammā hetuppabhavā, tesaṃ hetuṃ tathāgato āha,
tesañca yo nirodho, evaṃvādī mahāsamaṇo’ti."

(Sāriputtattheraapadāna)

Of those states that have arisen from a cause, their cause is explained by the Tathāgata,
and the cessation of those; this is what the great Sramana teaches.

"Natthi ragasamo aggi
natthi dosasamo kali
natthi khandhasama dukkha
natthi santiparam sukham."

( #Dhammapada , Sukhavagga)

There is no fire like passion; there is no evil like hatred; there is no ill like (the burden of) khandhas; there is no bliss that surpasses the Perfect Peace (Nibbana).

"Atta hi attano natho
ko hi natho paro siya
attana hi sudantena
natham labhati dullabham."

( #Dhammapada , Athma / Atta Vagga )

One indeed is one's own refuge; how can others be a refuge to one? With oneself thoroughly tamed, one can attain a refuge (Arahatta Phala), which is so difficult to attain.

"Asāre sāramatino
sāre casāradassino
Te sāram nadhigacchanti

( #Dhammapada Yamaka Vagga )

The unessential they imagine as essential,
In the essential, they see as unessential,
they never realise the essence,
who entertain such wrong thoughts.

"Manujassa pamattacārino
taṇhā vaḍḍhati māluvā viya,
so palavatī hurāhuraṁ
phalam-icchaṁ va vanasmi’ vānaro."

(Dhammapada, Taṇhāvaggo)

For a human who lives life heedlessly
craving increases like a clinging creeper,
He rushes from one place to another
like a monkey desiring fruit in the forest.

"Idha tappati pecca tappati
pāpakārī ubhayattha tappati
Pāpam me kataŋ’ti tappati
bhiyyo tappati duggatim gato"

(Dhammapada Verse 17, Devadatta Vatthu)

Agony now, agony hereafter,
the wrongdoer suffers agony in both worlds.
Agonised now by the knowledge that he has done wrong,
he suffers more agony, gone to a state of woe.

"Yathā agāraṁ succhannaṁ vuṭṭhī na samativijjhati,
evaṁ subhāvitaṁ cittaṁ rāgo na samativijjhati."

(Dhammapada, Yamaka Vagga)

Just as rain cannot penetrate a well-roofed house,
So also, passion (raga) cannot penetrate
a mind well-cultivated in Tranquillity and Insight Development (Samatha and Vipassana).

Bhikkhus, intention I say is action. Having intended one does action by body, speech, and mind.

"Na taṁ kammaṁ kataṁ sādhu, yaṁ katvā anutappati,
yassa assumukho rodaṁ,
vipākaṁ paṭisevati."

That deed is not well done,
Which having done he will regret,
For he cries with a tearful face
When the result returns to him.

"uṭṭhāna vato sati mato
sucikammassa nisammakārinō

"Yo ca pubbe pamajjitvà

Whoever was heedless before and afterwards is not; such a one illumines this world like the moon freed from clouds.

"Akkodhena jine kodham
asadhum sadhuna jine
jine kadariyam danena
saccena' likavidinam."

Conquer the angry one by not getting angry (i.e., by loving-kindness); conquer the wicked by goodness; conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth.

"So karohi dīpamattano
Khippaṃ vāyama paṇḍito bhava
Niddhantamalo anaṅgaṇo

Make a light unto yourself,
Strive hard and become wise,
Rid of impurities and cleansed of stain,
You shall not come again to birth and decay.

Dhammapada 18.238

"na jaccā vasalo hoti - na jaccā hoti brāhmaṇo
kammanā vasalo hoti - kammanā hoti brāhmaṇo"

A person is not an outcaste by birth, nor is he a noble individual merely by birth.
It is through actions that one becomes an outcaste, and through actions, one becomes a noble person.

- Lord Buddha -

Na antalikkhe na samuddamajjhe
na pabbatānaṁ vivaraṁ pavissa
Na vijjatī so jagatippadeso

Not in the sky, nor in the middle of the ocean, nor in the cave of a mountain, nor anywhere else, is there a place, where one may escape from the consequences of an evil deed.
