Vāṇijova bhayaṃ maggaṃ,
appasattho mahaddhano;
Visaṃ jīvitukāmova,
pāpāni parivajjaye.

Let a man avoid evil deeds, as a merchant, if he has few companions and carries much wealth, avoids a dangerous road; as a man who loves life avoids poison.

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