Mano-pubbaṅgamā dhammā mano-seṭṭhā mano-mayā
Manasā ce pasannena bhāsati vā karoti vā
Tato naṃ sukham anveti chayā va anapāyinī.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
