The Buddha

The Buddha (6th-5th century BCE)

"Those wise ones, restrained in the body,
restrained as well in speech,
those wise ones, restrained in the mind,
they indeed are perfectly restrained."

• The Dhammapada (Verses on the Way, Chapter 17), recorded in the 3rd century BCE. Translation by Glenn Wallis, 2004.
