Dhammapada · Verso 380

Pali

Attā hi attano nātho,
ko hi nātho paro siyā;
Attā hi attano gati,
tasmā saṁyamamattānaṁ;
Assaṁ bhadraṁva vāṇijo.

English

Self is indeed the lord of self,
for who else would be one’s lord?
Self is indeed the home of self,
so restrain yourself,
as a merchant his thoroughbred steed.
