134. Truly dangerous are gains, honors and fame. Concerning this, I have known a person whose mind I have read, who would not deliberately tell a lie even for the sake of a golden bowl filled with pieces of silver. That same person have I seen at another time telling lies because his heart was obsessed by gains, honors and fame. Truly dangerous are gains, honors and fame.
S.II,233 (SN 17.11)
