Hasten to do good,
restrain your mind from evil
Dhammapada v116
Hasten to do good, restrain your mind from evil
He who is slow in doing good, his mind delights in evil. Good deeds have good outcome. Evil deeds lead to bad results. Be mindful of the intentions behind your mental, verbal and physical actions.
