Dhammapada · 5.3

Puttā matthi dhanaṃ matthi, iti bālo vihaññati;Attā hi attano natthi, kuto puttā kuto dhanaṃ.

Putta matthi dhanam matthi, iti balo vihannati; Atta hi attano natthi, kuto putta kuto dhanam.

'My sons, my wealth' — so the fool torments himself. He himself is not his own — where then his sons, where his wealth?
