- Hasten 🏃♂️ to do good 👍; restrain your mind from evil 👺. He who is slow 🚧 in doing good, his mind delights in evil 😈.

- Like fine dust thrown against the wind 💨, evil falls back upon that fool who offends an inoffensive pure 🤍 and guiltless man.
- Some are born in the womb; the wicked 👺 are born in hell; the devout go to heaven 🕊️; the stainless pass into Nibbana.
- Neither the sky ⛅ nor the mid-ocean 🌊, nor by entering into mountain clefts ⛰️, nowhere in the world 🌍 is there a place one may escape 🗺️ from the results of evil deeds.
- Neither in the sky ⛅ nor the mid-ocean 🌊, not by entering into mountain clefts 🗻, nowhere in the world is there a place where one may will not be overcome by death 🪦.
