Dhammapada - The Essential Teaching of The Buddha

Chapter XXI
MISCELLANEOUS
290 If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise  man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great.
292 What ought to be done is neglected, what ought not to be done is done; the desires of unruly, thoughtless people are always increasing.
299 The disciples of Gotama are always well awake, and their thoughts day and night are always set on their body.
300 The disciples of Gotama are always well awake, and their mind day and night always delights in compassion.
301 The disciples of Gotama are always well awake, and their mind day and night always delights in meditation.
303 A man full of faith, if endowed with virtue and glory, is respected, whatever place he may choose.
304 Good people shine from afar, like the snowy mountains; bad people are not seen, like shot by night.
305 Sitting alone, lying down alone, walking alone without ceasing, and alone subduing himself, let a man be happy near the edge of a forest.
