Manujassa pamattacārino,
Taṇhā vaḍḍhati māluvā viya;
So plavatī hurā huraṃ,
Phalamicchaṃva vanasmi vānaro.

The thirst of a thoughtless man grows like a creeper; he runs from life to life, like a monkey seeking fruit in the forest.

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