Dhammapada · 15.6

Natthi rāgasamo aggi, natthi dosasamo kali;Natthi khandhādisā dukkhā, natthi santiparaṃ sukhaṃ.

Natthi ragasamo aggi, natthi dosasamo kali; Natthi khandhadisa dukkha, natthi santiparam sukham.

There is no fire like lust, no crime like hatred. There is no suffering like the aggregates, no happiness higher than peace.
