Even those who perform evil can experience well-being
so long as their actions have not yet borne direct fruits. However, when the results of their actions ripen, the painful consequences cannot be avoided.

Do not ignore the effects of evil, saying, “This will come to nothing.” Just as by the gradual fall of raindrops the water jar is filled, so in time fools are corrupted by evil-doing.

If you intentionally harm an innocent person, someone who is pure and blameless, the harm will come back to you like fine dust thrown into the wind.

There is no place on earth where one can hide from the consequences of evil actions – not in a mountain cave, the ocean, nor in the sky.

A well-trained horse gives no cause for restraint. Rare are those beings who, through modesty and discipline, give no cause for rebuke.

(Dhammapada 119-143, tr. Munindo)
