Dhammapada 116: 9. Wickedness

Dhammapada 116

Language
Pāli

116

Abhittharetha kalyāṇe,
pāpā cittaṃ nivāraye;
Dandhañhi karoto puññaṃ,
pāpasmiṃ ramatī mano.

If a man would hasten towards the good, he should keep his thought away from evil; if a man does what is good slothfully, his mind delights in evil.

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