Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

4: The Book of the Fours

XXIII. Bad Conduct — AN 4.230: Witless

1“A foolish person … makes much bad karma. … They’re faithless, unethical, lazy, and witless. … An astute person … makes much merit. … They’re faithful, ethical, energetic, and wise. When an astute, competent good person has these four qualities they keep themselves healthy and whole. They don’t deserve to be blamed and criticized by sensible people, and they make much merit.”

1… pe … Assaddho hoti, dussīlo hoti, kusīto hoti, duppañño hoti … pe … saddho hoti, sīlavā hoti, āraddhavīriyo hoti, paññavā hoti – imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato paṇḍito viyatto sappuriso akkhataṁ anupahataṁ attānaṁ pariharati, anavajjo ca hoti ananuvajjo viññūnaṁ, bahuñca puññaṁ pasavatī"ti.
