Dhammapada 35 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


3 - Cittavagga, The Mind  
2 - Annatarabhikkhu Vatthu
Dunniggahassa lahuno, yatthakamanipatino;
cittassa damatho sadhu, cittam dantam sukhavaham.  
35: The mind is difficult to control; swiftly and lightly, it moves and lands
wherever it pleases. It is good to tame the mind, for a well-tamed mind brings
happiness.
