Dhammapada · 25.20

Attanā codayattānaṃ, paṭimāseattamattanā;So attagutto satimā, sukhaṃ bhikkhu vihāhisi.

Attana codayattanam, patimaseattamattana; So attagutto satima, sukham bhikkhu vihahisi.

Spur yourself yourself; examine yourself yourself. Self-guarded and mindful, O bhikkhu, you will live happily.
