Dhammapada · 1.6

Pare ca na vijānanti, mayamettha yamāmase;Ye ca tattha vijānanti, tato sammanti medhagā.

Pare ca na vijananti, mayamettha yamamase; Ye ca tattha vijananti, tato sammanti medhaga.

Others do not realize that we are all heading toward death here. Those who do realize this — their quarrels cease.

— Dhammapada 1.6
