Dhammapada · 19.14

Pāpāni parivajjeti, sa munī tena so munī;Yo munāti ubho loke, munī tena pavuccati.

Papani parivajjeti, sa muni tena so muni; Yo munati ubho loke, muni tena pavuccati.

He who avoids evils — he is a sage, by that he is a sage. He who understands both worlds — by that he is called a sage.
