Māvamaññetha pāpassa,
na mantaṃ āgamissati;
Udabindunipātena,
udakumbhopi pūrati;
Bālo pūrati pāpassa,
thokaṃ thokampi ācinaṃ.

Let no man think lightly of evil, saying in his heart, It will not come nigh unto me. Even by the falling of water-drops a water-pot is filled; the fool becomes full of evil, even if he gather it little by little.

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