SN.1.78. Kāmasutta ("Desire")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")“What should one who desires the good not give away?
What should a mortal not reject?
What should be let out when it’s good,
but not when it’s bad?”
“A man shouldn’t give away himself.
He shouldn’t reject himself.
Speech should be let out when it’s good,
but not when it’s bad.”
