Dhammapada 60 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


5 - Balavagga, The Fool
1 - Annatarapurisa Vatthu

Digha jagarato ratti, digham santassa yojanam;
digho balana samsaro, saddhammam avijanatam.
60: Long is the night to one who is wakeful; long is (the journey of) one yojana to the traveller who is tired; long is samsara (round of rebirths) to the fool, who is ignorant of the true Dhamma (the Teaching of the Buddha).
