The Dhammapada is a collection of the sayings of the Buddha. It is regarded as one of most important of Buddhist sutras (texts) and one which very closely records his teachings. Here's the opening of the Dhammapada:
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought:
it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.
If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him,
as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage."
