314

Akataṃ dukkaṭaṃ seyyo,
pacchā tappati dukkaṭaṃ;
Katañca sukataṃ seyyo,
yaṃ katvā nānutappati.

An evil deed is better left undone, for a man repents of it afterwards; a good deed is better done, for having done it, one does not repent.

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