You do not well enticing me to a sinful act. And what you say, that "nobody else will know of it"—will it be less sinful for this reason?—Jatakamala.
There is no such thing as secrecy in wrongdoing.—Jataka.
Even could she have kept it secret from men, ... could she have kept it secret from spirit, ... could she have kept it secret from the gods, yet she could not have escaped herself from the knowledge of her sin.—Questions of King Milinda.
Clad in garments pure as the moonbeams, ... her ornaments modesty and virtuous conduct.—Ajanta Cave Inscriptions.
If you speak ... to a woman, do it with pureness of heart.... Say to yourself: "Placed in this sinful world, let me be as the spotless lily, unsoiled by the mire in which it grows." Is she old? regard her as your mother. Is she honorable? as your sister. Is She of small account? as a younger sister. Is she a child? then treat her with reverence and politeness.—Sutra of Forty-two Sections.
Gentle and true, simple and kind was she,
Noble of mien, with gracious speech to all,
And gladsome looks—a pearl of womanhood.
—Sir Edwin Arnold.
Do not have evil-doers for friends.... Take as your friends the best of men.—Dhammapada.
Briefly I will tell you the marks of a friend—
When doing wrong, to warn; when doing well, to exhort to perseverance;
When in difficulty or danger, to assist, relieve, and deliver.
Such a man is indeed a true and illustrious friend.
—Fo-pen-hing-tsih-king.
