Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā,  
manoseṭṭhā manomayā;  
Manasā ce pasannena,  
bhāsati vā karoti vā;  
Tato naṃ sukhamanveti,  
chāyāva 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)
