AN.4.17. Paṭhamaagatisutta ("Prejudice, 1st")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants, there are these four ways of making prejudiced decisions. What four? Making decisions prejudiced by favoritism, hostility, stupidity, and cowardice. These are the four ways of making prejudiced decisions.

If you act against the teaching
out of favoritism, hostility, cowardice, or stupidity,
your fame fades away,
like the moon in the waning fortnight.”
