Dhammapada 85-86 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

6 - Panditavagga, The Wise
10 - Dhammassavana Vatthu

Appaka te manussesu, ye jana paragamino;
athayam itara paja, tiramevanudhavati.
Ye ca kho sammadakkhate, dhamme dhammanuvattino;
te jana paramessanti, maccudheyyam suduttaram.

85: Few among men reach the other shore (Nibbana); all the others only run up and down on this shore.
86: But those who practise according to the well-expounded Dhamma will reach the other shore (Nibbana), having passed the realm of Death (i.e., samsara), very difficult as it is to cross.
