Overcome the angry by non-anger;
overcome the wicked by goodness;
overcome the miser by generosity;
overcome the liar by truth.
Speak the truth;
yield not to anger;
when asked, give even if you only have a little.
By these three means,
one can reach the presence of the gods.
[Dhammapada, verses 223 & 224]
