Dhammapada 314, 315


An evil deed is better left undone, for a man repents of it afterwards; a good deed is better done, for having done it, one does not repent. 

Like a well-guarded frontier fort, with defenses within and without, so let a man guard himself. 

Not a moment should escape, for they who allow the right moment to pass, suffer pain when they are in hell.
