252

Sudassaṃ vajjamaññesaṃ,
attano pana duddasaṃ;
Paresaṃ hi so vajjāni,
opunāti yathā bhusaṃ;
Attano pana chādeti,
kaliṃva kitavā saṭho.

The fault of others is easily perceived, but that of oneself is difficult to perceive; a man winnows his neighbour's faults like chaff, but his own fault he hides, as a cheat hides the bad die from the gambler.

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