AN.5.219. Aggisutta ("Fire")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants, there are these five drawbacks of a fire. What five? It’s bad for your eyes. It’s bad for your complexion. It makes you weak. It draws in groups. And it encourages unworthy talk. These are the five drawbacks of a fire.”
