Pali Poetry.
One should speak only that word by which one would not torment oneself nor harm others. That word is indeed well spoken.
One should speak only pleasant words, words which are acceptable (to others). What one speaks without bringing evils to others is pleasant.
Truth is indeed the undying word; this is an ancient verity. Upon truth, the good say, the goal and the teaching are founded.
The sure word the Awakened One speaks for the attainment of Nibbana, for making an end of suffering, is truly the best of words.
